BP Database Admin password lost

  • 1.  BP Database Admin password lost

    Posted 01-28-2020 16:32
    I am a new-bee!!  It has been a couple of weeks since I last was able to using the training in BP.  I have BP loaded on my system, but I used the admin account to access the system to produce the results shown in the training.  Now I do not remember the admin password.  Is there anyway to retrieve the password or do I need to delete the DB and create a new one???

    For resetting the password of admin user ,
    1- you need admin access to the database.
    2- You need the original encrypted hash key of the password which only Blue prism may have.

    If it were a production instance, I would have suggested you to get in touch with Blue Prism support to get the password reset script. But since it's only a training instance, I would recommend you to recreate the database . This will not only help you to re-do some of the exercises to gain more hands-on but also remind you not to forget the password again :).

    Best of luck mate.

    Gene,

    if you have something in the old database which is valuable then you need to follow those steps:
    1. assumption - you have access to the database and you can modify tables - if this is not true then you are lost ;).
    2. create new database instance - this is to get salt and hash for known password (which BP version you use?)
    3. go to SQL Management console and in the newly created database with known password go to the table BPAPassword.
    4. Copy the content of column salt and hash
    5. go to the old database, table BPAPassword and write the content into salt and hash
    6. login into your old database with the password which you created for new database.

    Hi,

    If you have direct access to the database (with smss or with t-sql), it is possible to inject new password to the database from a different database.

    If you put in salt this 
    ezfkI0NkJiIJR8Rubuuf800cxjp7epM7EjYkQIfzUxI=

    and hash this 
    96u76IApmLmLzatzGnvFzPq2h4noZZCpc+GATM2VUxk=

    for admin user then the password will be "a"

    Taking reference from Zdeněk Kabátek I was able to reset the password on the local installation.

    1. Install and launch SQL Server Management Studio
    2. Enter server name as (LocalDB)/BluePrismLocalDB - This could be found on BluePrism Login Screen - Configure Connection - Database Server
    3. Select Windows authentication
    4. Once logged in, on the left you will find Databases -> BluePrism
    5. In case you don't find a userid with name "admin" but only one userid in BPAPassword table, reset the password for that user. Use the below query to find user
    SELECT * FROM [BluePrism].[dbo].[BPAPassword]
    6. Create a new query and enter the below SQL update and execute

    UPDATE [BluePrism].[dbo].[BPAPassword] SET salt = 'ezfkI0NkJiIJR8Rubuuf800cxjp7epM7EjYkQIfzUxI=',hash = '96u76IApmLmLzatzGnvFzPq2h4noZZCpc+GATM2VUxk=' WHERE userid = 'admin'
    7. This will reset the admin password to a

    I used BluePrism 6.10 and it worked for me.

    Thanks Zdeněk Kabátek for the help

    Hi,

    I tried the above mentioned steps in local installation of Blueprism 6.10. If you are using an organization version then its better to check with team who supports the platform/application. But in case you are using a local installation and not able to see the BPAPassword, in that case pls check if the DB name is "BluePrism" also you can run the below query to see all tables in the DB, usually the BluePrism related tables are prefixed with BPA. You can search in the list of tables (that will be the first column in the output of below query)

    Query to check all tables - SELECT * FROM sys.tables

    Hope that helps....

    Thanks,
    Parnab

    Hi,

    I checked this step on a newer installation of BP Learning edition and was able to connect without any issue with same parameters. I am doing it on a personal laptop. In case you are using an organization provided workstation, it will be a good idea to check with support team as organization put some restrictions. Else, there are quite a few articles in google if you search by "a network related or instance specific error" where they provide step by step guide on fixing this issue. Hope that helps.

    Thanks,
    Parnab

    You can use this --> 
    1) Search the name of DB connection from BP .

    Use the below command to reset BP admin password

    UPDATE BPPassword SET salt='bWHYui7HKokLnns5LlF-kTY0=99HyyYuiGtF',hash='8ZXkuDKokLnMoKezhb3l7Ch1CEDmfS8hRUdsNv8='
    WHERE userDd=(SELECT userDd FROM BPUser WHERE username='Admin') ;

    Hi Aravind,

    To execute this command, first you need to access SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) which is an application available to interact with your databases on your SQL Server.

    You can download this application from Microsoft's web site and then you need to login with your SQL Server name, username and password which you can select either to be Windows Authentication if this is what you provided while installing SQL Server otherwise you need to select SQL Authentication and provide your SQL server credentials.

    Then, you need to click on 'New Script' which appears at the top and it will open a new editor screen for you where you can type and execute your query.

    Here you type the SQL Query as Vipul mentioned and then try to click on Execute button. You should be able to see a message saying some records got updated successfully in the output section below the editor screen.

    Please let us know if you have any queries.

    Hope it helps you and if it resolves you query please mark it as the best answer so that others having the same problem can track the answer easily

    Hi, Manpreet,

    this is strange. Please check the table BPAUser if you have any user there. If yes, then you need to create a record with id of that user entered in column userid. I am sending a screen shot of my record in BPAPassword. My user name is admin with userid as displayed below.
    BPAPassword recordRegards
