    Can you share a screenshot of the error message you got when trying passwd admin ?

Hi ndubey2 

When you connect to cli for the first timle, BIGIP asks for changing the default password.

Can you try the new password you set in cli ?

Otherwise if you still have cli access, reset admin password through passwd admin command.

Regards
