Re: [p4] Resetting SuperUser password when SU is not deleted and there are no other users?

Posted on behalf of forum user 'Sambwise'.

If you already know the SU's password or are otherwise able to login as
them, just do:

p4 set P4USER=the_superuser
p4 passwd

If you've forgotten the password and need to reset it as a superuser,
logically you'd need another superuser to do that since you can't login
as the first one.  If there are no protections on the server, any user
you create is a superuser, which it sounds like is what you're
doing?  Two users isn't going to overflow the limit on the free
server, so there shouldn't be any problem with doing it that way.

The "back door" way of clearing the password if you only have one user
and for some reason don't want to create a second to unlock the first would
be to delete the db.user table.  This will delete all users and their
associated passwords.  Note that if you had dm.noautocreate on, you
may have just locked yourself out of your server (time to delete db.config)!
