    Thank you for the above, the first method worked. I had to login as root and then change password for the gateway.

    The second one is mainly for MX password, saved for any  later use! Thank you :)

    Hi Syed,

    I want to change the admin password of my virtual gateway.
    But I also need someone's help to access this type of article. Why can't I access it after logging in with my Support Portal account.

    Hello Mitesh,

    For that we need to check, if you have required permission for accessing Imperva documents web page or not, you can open a support ticket with us and we can check and confirm you on the same.

    For gateway admin cli password reset, you can try using below command,

    #passwd admin and then enter the password and check.
