Steps to Reset a Password

1. Make sure all cluster nodes are shut down.

2. On the master node, run the following command:

   Reset password

   <DREMIO_HOME>/bin/dremio-admin set-password -u <ACCOUNT_USER> -p <NEW_PASSWORD>
   caution

   You can use special characters for any character in the password except the first character. If you use a special character for the first character in the password, the password will fail.
