Note: The super admin account is a local account. In IdP authentication mode, local accounts cannot sign in, so resetting the super admin account has no effect while an identity provider configuration is active. If you must recover local administrative access, activate the local configuration with the SWITCHAUTHMODE utility, restart the OpenEdge Command Center server, and then run this utility.
In local authentication mode, you can modify the following details of the super admin user after launching the OpenEdge Command Center server:
  • First name
  • Last name
  • Password
  • Email address
  • Description

To modify the super admin user details, perform the following steps:

  1. Open a command-line interface with administrative privileges. On Windows, run the command prompt as an administrator. On Linux, run the terminal as a root user.
  2. Change to the utils directory within the directory where the OpenEdge Command Center server is installed.
    • On Windows, go to cd C:\Progress\OECC\Server\utils.
    • On Linux, go to cd /Progress/OECC/server/utils.
  3. To modify one or more details of a super admin user, run the following command: 
    resetsuperadmin  [--firstname <first name>] | [--lastname <last name>] | [--pwd <password>] |  [--email <email>] |  [--description <description>]

    Replace each placeholder with the appropriate value. For detailed information about the syntax and parameters, see RESETSUPERADMIN utility.
