Checkpoint Gaia - How to reset expert password in Gaia

If you happen to forget the expert mode password on CheckPoint Gaia OS, you could find the CheckPoint SecureKnowledge SK92347 (http://supportcontent.checkpoint.com/solutions?id=sk92347) that requires Expert access
Actually if you have at least SSH access to the system you do not need much more that the hash from another user's password. With that hash you can execute a CLISH command to fix your problem

From the "show configuration" command you look for the hash, i.e.:

set user lchiavacci password-hash $1$cQ3vKZFw$cHR$T3gMqcyqP0HdKx12P9

 you copy the hash and execute the command

set expert-password-hash $1$cQ3vKZFw$cHR$T3gMqcyqP0HdKx12P9

at this point the expert password is the same of user lchiavacci

Try it and let me know if it works for you

    In my R75.20.67 enviroment, it did not work.
    The accepted command is "set expert password-hash" and the answer is

    Setting expert password with hash
    Expert password already set
    Set expert password failed

    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
