reset a password for a superadmin in Linux

[SifKarzazi]

How can I reset my password for the superadmin in a Linux system  using the CLI. I am struggeling having a documentation for it, as

Appliance is running on Linux SUSE and is version 7.x

If you are already on the command line as rsaadmin,

you need operations console credentials to reset the superadmin using restore-admin.

/opt/rsa/am/utils/

./rsautil restore-admin

is the command that can punch in a new admin, but you must

have working operations console admin credentials for this to work.

Run it with no arguments and it will list it's options.

NOTE: Operations console admin credentials is the one thing that cannot ever be reset if lost,

and if you do not have access to the Security console Manage OC Administrators.

Many Thanks David for the fast answer. And yes he has the operation console admin. He just lost his superadmin password. Just to summarize

cd /opt/rsa/am/utils/

./rsautil restore-admin

after that I will have the lines to reset the new password for a specific superadmin. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Again many thanks
