Parameters

None.

Description

This command resets the service assistant password to the value provided. Note that the superuser password cannot be reset back to the default password. If the node canister is active in a system, the superuser password for the system is reset; otherwise, the superuser password is reset on the individual node canister.

If the node canister later becomes active in a system, the superuser password is reset to that of the system. You can configure the system to disable resetting the superuser password. If you disable that function, this action fails.

This command calls the satask resetpassword command.
