Recovering Admin user password in RHACS

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • The StackRox/RHACS admin password is lost. How can we recover it without re-installation?
  • The secret central-htpasswd contains a base64 encrypted string with user admin and password, however the password appears to be in a HASH format which cannot be decrypted. e.g admin:$2y$05$O.GVXJ0EQ1SPLTNMHvnqwOgXTx9ls5w0l6RkYnLVombvu

Environment

  • Red Hat Advance Cluster Security for Kubernetes 3.x
