Reset Password? option

The Reset Password? option is useful if the system superuser password has been lost or forgotten.

Use the Reset password? option if the user has lost the system superuser password or if the user is unable to access the system. If it is permitted by the user's password security policy, use this selection to reset the system superuser password.

If your password security policy permits password recovery, and if the node is currently a member of a clustered system, the system superuser password is reset and a new password is displayed for 60 seconds. If your password security policy does not permit password recovery or the node is not a member of a system, completing these steps has no effect.

If the node is in active state when the password is reset, the reset applies to all nodes in the system. If the node is in candidate or service state when the password is reset, the reset applies only to the single node.
