# Reset Lost/Forgotten Hermes SEG Admin Password

On a SSH/Command prompt enter the following command:

```
mysql -u root -p
```

At the **Enter password** prompt enter the MySQL root password you set during initial setup.

On the **MariaDB \[(none)\]>** prompt enter the following:

```
use hermes;
```

You will get the following output:

```

On the **MariaDB \[hermes\]>** prompt enter the following:

```
update `system_users` set password = 'AJVm@ECdx7*nByXuWr$jM5siHQLqe$9A2F7CBDF2575E1A2209671B495CC394BE226E095CEDFE8B959330D3C900A69F6506492372E274B7AC4F4B31538A1378540616CB22BEABB0042E39DDE7AE1E19' where username = 'admin';
```

the admin password should now be set to the default **ChangeMe2!**

At the **MariaDB \[hermes\]>** prompt enter the following:

```
exit
```

You should be back to a SSH/Command prompt. You may proceed to login to the Hermes SEG Admin GUI using the following default credentials:

- **Username:** admin
- **Password:** ChangeMe2!
