Password expired learning edition

[Rhian.Lowe]

Hi.

I'm locked out of my learning edition. Have been for some time now and I remember getting told the easiest way is to uninstall and reinstall.
I've done this this morning and it is still stating my password expired. I swear I didn't change the password first time around either. I've tried every password I can think of but still no.

Please help quickly I really need to get back on to my training as soon as possible!
(It's v7.1.1)

Thanks
Rhian

Hi Rhian,

Assuming your Trial of 180 days isn't expired, you can reset your the admin password for your local Blue Prism installation by executing following query on the database:

USE blueprism
UPDATE BPAPassword SET salt = '', hash = '208512264222772174181102151942010236531331277169151', type = 0
WHERE userid = (SELECT userid FROM BPAUser WHERE username = 'admin')

More information can be found in this thread.

Hi @Rhian.Lowe,

Blue Prism can't run without a SQL server database firstly as you can also see from the following installation guide: Install and configure trial and learning editions

To access the tables within database and execute SQL scripts, you need a software called SQL Server Management Studio​

Once you are able to install the software, login to the server which is configured by default while installation as shown below:



​Blue Prism Configured Database:



Same table you should be able to view inside your SSMS software once connected to server:

In order to execute script, you need to click on the 'New Query' icon or press 'CTRL+N' which opens up a new scripting window:

UPDATE BPAPassword SET salt='bWBTNqWrvq6RbQnns5PpF+Kt7V1gVS97F6R5iZIxV6M=',
hash='9XkueyLzhbhRUMoKedsN3l7ChDmfS811IDymP8ZCEv8=' WHERE
userid=(SELECT userid FROM BPAUser WHERE username='admin')
AND active=1;​

​
Once, you have written the script click on the 'Execute' button or press 'F5':
