• All cluster nodes are completely shut down. See Startup/Shutdown for more information.

• This command is run on the master node.

{{< codeheader "Reset password command" >}}

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

Options

To obtain a list of options on the command line:

{{< codeheader "List reset password command options" >}}

  -h, --help

note:

If the --password option is specified without a value, the utility prompts for one interactively.
