Sean Busbey commented on ACCUMULO-3694: --------------------------------------- Great idea Frans. I think we'll need to call out the warning more than just in the main text. If you'd like to take a go at making a patch, the file to change is [docs/src/main/asciidoc/chapters/troubleshooting.txt|https://github.com/apache/accumulo/blob/master/docs/src/main/asciidoc/chapters/troubleshooting.txt] Before we raise the visibility of this feature by adding to the troubleshooting area, I'd *really* like to see ACCUMULO-3626 get done. But having the docs ready to go would be nice. > Include root password recovery steps in docs > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: ACCUMULO-3694 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3694 > Project: Accumulo > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: docs > Reporter: Frans Lawaetz > Priority: Minor > > It would be helpful to add, perhaps in the Troubleshooting section of the > docs, the semi-hidden feature that is: > accumulo init --reset-security > As a stab: > Q: I've lost the accumulo root password, now what? > A: Running "accumulo init --reset-security" will prompt you for a new root > password. CAUTION: this command will delete all existing users. You will > need to re-create all other users and set permissions accordingly. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
