Procedure: Resetting superuser password

You can reset the superuser password to the default password of passw0rd by
using a USB key command action.
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 key 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 key to reset the superuser password, see "USB key and Initialization
tool interface" on page 176.
If the node canister is active in a clustered system, the password for superuser is
changed on the clustered system. If the node canister is not in active state, the
superuser password for the node canister is changed. If the node canister joins a
clustered system later, the superuser password is reset to that of the clustered
system.
