Procedure: Resetting the superuser password
You can reset the superuser password to the default password of passw0rd by using a USB flash drive command action.
About this task
You can use this procedure to reset the superuser password
if you have forgotten the password. This command
runs differently depending on whether you run it on a node canister
that is active in a clustered system.
Note: If
a node canister is not in active state, the superuser password is
still required to log on to the service assistant.
It is possible to configure your system so that resetting the superuser password with the USB flash drive command action is not permitted. If your system is configured this way, there is no work-around. Contact the person who knows the password.
To use a USB flash drive, see the related reference link below that contains information about using a USB flash drive.
