Resetting User Account Password

It sometimes happens that a user forgets his password. In such a case, the user must alert the system administrator, who will reset his password.

In most cases, the system administrator can just open the settings of the user account in the UI and change value of the Password field.

In other cases, e.g. when the password of the system administrator himself is lost, the password can be reset using the command line.

Resetting the password is done using the -p command line option of the Iotellect Server. The syntax for this option is -p <username> <password>.

So, assuming the user johndoe forgets his password and alerts the administrator, here's what the administrator would do to reset johndoe's password to foobar:

• Shut down Iotellect Server (see Shutting Down the Server)

• Run Iotellect Server once more, with the command line argument -p johndoe foobar

• johndoe's password would now be foobar and he would be able to log in
