 NIOS can be very picky about what backup files it will restore onto a version of code. You must always make sure you are running the same version of NIOS that was used to make the Grid backup. However, in a LAB environment, you can edit the first line of the onedb.xml file. This is for LABBING only. NEVER use this in production. Your configuration will not be supported by Infoblox.
+You can script this with
+<code>import tarfile
+import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
+import io
+import shutil
+import argparse
+def modify_password_in_tar(tar_path, username, new_password):
+    # Open tar file
+    with tarfile.open(tar_path, "r:gz") as tar:
+        # Extract onedb.xml into memory
+        xml_member = tar.getmember("onedb.xml")
+        xml_content = tar.extractfile(xml_member).read()
+    # Parse XML
+    root = ET.fromstring(xml_content)
+    # Extract VERSION and print first 3 parts
+    version_value = root.attrib.get("VERSION")
+    if version_value:
+        version_parts = version_value.split("-")[0]  # take only x.y.z before the dash
+        version_trimmed = ".".join(version_parts.split(".")[:3])
+        print(f"Database VERSION: {version_trimmed}")
+    # Iterate through OBJECT elements
+    for obj in root.findall(".//OBJECT"):
+        type_node = obj.find('./PROPERTY[@NAME="__type"]')
+        name_node = obj.find('./PROPERTY[@NAME="name"]')
+        if (type_node is not None and type_node.attrib.get("VALUE") == ".com.infoblox.one.admin" and
+                name_node is not None and name_node.attrib.get("VALUE") == username):
+            # Find password property
+            pwd_node = obj.find('./PROPERTY[@NAME="password"]')
+            if pwd_node is not None:
+                pwd_node.set("VALUE", new_password)
+                print(f"Password updated successfully for user: {username}")
+    # Convert back to string
+    new_xml_bytes = ET.tostring(root, encoding="utf-8", xml_declaration=True)
+    # Create a temporary tar
+    temp_tar_path = tar_path + ".tmp"
+    with tarfile.open(temp_tar_path, "w:gz") as new_tar:
+        with tarfile.open(tar_path, "r:gz") as old_tar:
+            for member in old_tar.getmembers():
+                if member.name == "onedb.xml":
+                    # Add modified XML
+                    info = tarfile.TarInfo(name="onedb.xml")
+                    info.size = len(new_xml_bytes)
+                    new_tar.addfile(info, io.BytesIO(new_xml_bytes))
+                else:
+                    # Copy other files unchanged
+                    new_tar.addfile(member, old_tar.extractfile(member) if member.isfile() else None)
+    # Replace old tar with new tar
+    shutil.move(temp_tar_path, tar_path)
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Modify password inside onedb.xml in a tar.gz archive")
+    parser.add_argument("-f", "--file", required=True, help="Path to the tar.gz file")

 In this example, we are making a Grid Backup from 8.6.0 early access NIOS compatible with 8.6.0 GA NIOS. NOTE: We are not actually making it compatible, we are simply tricking NIOS 8.6.0 GA into loading the configuration as best as it can.
