HAWQ installation ERROR: Invalid username and/or password error!! on Hortonworks sandbox

Question

Can somebody update on this, I was installing HAWQ in HDP sandbox in the standalone machine, but after completing half of that I stuck to the below step.

Trying to add the HDB repository to the Ambari server and had the issue with user name and password used.

I was using the same username and password that sandbox provides.

reference link for installation instruction article [failing point at 5] - http://hdb.docs.pivotal.io/201/hdb/install/install-ambari.html

Any suggestion is highly appreciated.

Answer 1

Make sure you are giving ambari admin username and password .Default is user "admin" and password is "admin"

Answer 2

if you login through default password given by Hortonworks [i.e. maria_dev/maria_dev], go and reset the Ambari username & password.
