You can reset the superuser password to the default password
of passw0rd by using a USB flash drive command
action.
You can use this procedure to reset the superuser password
if you have forgotten the password.
This command
runs differently depending on whether you run it on a node canister
that is active in a clustered system. Note: If
a node canister is not in active state, the superuser password is
still required to log on to the service assistant.
It
is possible to configure your system so that resetting the superuser
password with the USB flash drive command
action is not permitted. If your system is configured this way, there
is no work-around. Contact the person who knows the password.
To
use a USB flash drive,
see the related reference link below that contains information about
using a USB flash drive.

If the node canister is active in a clustered
system, the password for superuser is changed on the clustered system.
If the node canister is not in active state, the superuser password
for the node canister is changed. If the node canister joins a clustered
system later, the superuser password is reset to that of the clustered
system.
