Reset password did not work

[laurentiuspurba]

Hello,

I have problem on resetting password as per this answer, which is

kubectl patch secret argocd-secret  -p '{"data": {"admin.password": null, "admin.passwordMtime": null}}'

After I issued the command above, I did restart argocd-server-xxx-xxx pod by deleting it. After the new argocd-server-xxx-xxx was back, I did kubectl port forward ... and then open http://localhost:8080 on the browser and enter the username admin and password, which is the name of newly created argocd-server-yyy-yyy pod, which is from

kubectl get pods -n argocd -l app.kubernetes.io/name=argocd-server -o name | cut -d'/' -f 2

I was not able to log in and see this error

time="2021-05-14T19:48:29Z" level=warning msg="User admin had too many failed logins (5)"
time="2021-05-14T19:48:30Z" level=info msg="finished unary call with code Unauthenticated" 
error="rpc error: code = Unauthenticated desc = Invalid username or password"

grpc.start_time="2021-05-14T19:48:29Z" grpc.time_ms=634.058 span.kind=server system=grpc

Appreciate your help

Never mind. For some reasons, I had to wait for "few" minutes in order to be able to log in.
