    Hello Thom,
                      As you are on combined ova, Delphix Virtualization Engine use these credentials to fetch masking jobs from masking engine. As you change password for Delphix_admin user on masking engine and din't update the credentials on Delphix Virtualization Engine, causing account lock due to invalid login attempts from Virtualization Engine.

    You need to update password in Virtualization Engine by logging into CLI.
    Please follow steps below:

    Hi,
    If the super user gets locked out another administrative user can unlock, if no other admin a/c exist please raise a support ticket, Delphix support will reset.

    A Knowledge Base article is available here that covers methods for password reset. (https://support.delphix.com/Continuous_Compliance_Engine_(formerly_Masking_Engine)/Unlocking_Locked_Masking_User_and_Password_Reset_(KBA1556))
