System Admin Account LockOut

Is there a way to reset the system admin password without having access to the admin console? Our sys admin password for a dev environment has been lost and we need to access the environment using the suite/portal/login.jsp page. Unfortunately there's no 'reset password' link on the login page since this is an on-premise installation using Appian v17.3.

Is there a way to reset a password without being able to login to Appian?

    As I mentioned in my initial post. Set the following settings in passwords.properties file and rerun jboss

    conf.password.ADMIN_USERNAME=your_user_name
    conf.password.ADMIN_EMAIL=your_email
    conf.password.ADMIN_TEMPORARY_PASSWORD=xxxxx(supply a temporary password...which you can again change when you try to login first)..
  • I'm looking for the docs on this...
    If I recall correctly, this script only works if there's one and only one system administrator on the system (not including "Administrator").
    If you only have the one sysadmin, this should work.
    When I did it, I also included the properties:
    conf.password.ADMIN_FIRST_NAME=
    &
    conf.password.ADMIN_LAST_NAME=
    /
    Suggest you don't leave those out.

    Again,
