Resetting Instance Passwords

On the DCS console, you can configure a new password if you forget your instance password.

For a DCS Redis or Memcached instance, you can change it from password mode to password-free mode or from password-free mode to password mode by resetting its password. For details, see Changing Password Settings for DCS Redis Instances and Changing Password Settings for DCS Memcached Instances.
The DCS instance for which you want to reset the password is in the Running state.

At least one DCS instance has been created.

Log in to the DCS console.
Click in the upper left corner and select a region and a project.
In the navigation pane, choose Cache Manager.
Choose More > Reset Password in the same row as the chosen instance.
In the Reset Password dialog box, enter a new password and confirm the password.
The password must meet the following requirements:
- Cannot be left blank.
- Can contain 8 to 32 characters.
- Contain at least three of the following character types:
  - Lowercase letters
  - Uppercase letters
  - Digits
  - special characters (`~!@#$^&*()-_=+\|{}:,<.>/?)
Click OK.

The system will display a success message only after the password is successfully reset on all nodes. If the reset fails, the instance will restart and the password of the cache instance will be restored.
