I posted this a couple days ago but still need help. I have the same problem as in this discussion: https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/discussions/19806/how-to-reset-a-local-jss-account-password
I need to do this too because I mistyped the admin password during setup and now can't get in. However, I'm confused from where the password and salt came from. It looks like the password is SHA512 according to the documentation. And it looks like it's stored in base64?
# decode the salt from base64
$ salt=`echo -n "NmUeqSwHagk=" | base64 -D`
# password + salt hashed with sha512 and then put into base 64
$ echo -n "changeme${salt}" | openssl dgst -sha512 | base64

# salt + password
$ echo -n "${salt}changeme" | openssl dgst -sha512 | base64

Am I missing something? If this is using AES-256 or something, I don't want to change the password to the wrong thing and have it not work.
