I have installed PSU on Linux approx. 90 Days ago.
As I wanted to login today, I got the message, that my password has expired (Admin-Account).
I changed the password, did login again and again: Your password has expired.
I already tried --reset-admin-account, but that didnt work with the service.
I did try to stop the service, than manually run Univsersal.Server script with --rest-admin-password, then I could login, but without any data and as soon as I restarted the service, I had the loop again.
After Updating to 5.21 I am now not even able to login with my credentials
Using the ENV Variables for DefaultAdminName and DefaultAdminPassword doesnt work.
Using the ENV Variable ResetAdminAccount = true is also not working.
I have located an issue with PSU not setting the password last reset time when updating the password. It will change the password but still think that it is expired. This has been resolved and will be in our next release.
As for recovering from this, I would recommend updating the value manually. Can you let me know what database type you are using? I can provide steps to resolve this.
Do note, in version 5.3, we are releasing a new command in psucli to reset the admin password directly and it will update the password last set value. I’ll give the nightly build a test once it finishes, and you may be able to use that tool as well.
