When you invoke the Admin CLI, you need to provide the security directory in the Storage Node of the data store. Administrators who have access to this security directory can login to the Admin CLI to reset the password when the password has been forgotten.

Steps to reset admin password:

1. Login with the store SSL credentials.

   java -Xmx64m -Xms64m \ 
   -jar $KVHOME/lib/kvstore.jar runadmin \ 
   -host $HOSTNAME -port 5000 -store mystore \ 
   -store-security-dir $KVROOT/security 

   Logged in to Admin and store with store SSL credentials.
2. Reset the admin password using ALTER USER command.

   kv-> execute 'ALTER USER <user_name> IDENTIFIED BY "<new_password>"' 

   Statement completed successfully.
