Lost Admin Password on config restore for new ISO install

SalishSwede
Hi, I just installed the latest v8 iso which seemed to go well.
The install is on a VMWare ESX 3i hypervisor.
After restoring the configuration from my production box which is v7.507, the backend connection to the browser reset (expected) but then my admin password is no longer recognized (unexpected).

Can anyone think of why this might be?

Thanks,

Doug

    Hi, passwords are not included in backup files; you should be prompted for a new password.

    If not, you could log in on the console (blank password) and search these forums for the webadmin password reset procedure.

    Hi Barry,

    I wasn't suggesting that the password was reset or restored by the config restore.
    The newly created password was corrupted by the restore process (or some variant thereof).
    The new state cannot be accessed by any previous username/password combination.
