Change the Administrator Password

Create a new administrator.
As the root user, create a
/var/lib/demisto/otc.conf.json
file with content similar to the following using the
touch
(create) and
vim
(edit) commands.
						
						{
						"users": [{
						"username": "newadmin",
						"password": "veryStrongPassword!",
						"email": "admin@example.com",
						"phone": "+650-123456",
						"name": "New Admin Dude",
						"defaultAdmin": true,
						"roles": {
						"demisto": [
						"Administrator"
						]
						}
						}]
						}
						
						
						
If you do not want the new administrator to be the default administrator, remove
defaultAdmin
or change it to
false
.
Save the file.
Ensure the file has
demisto:demisto
ownership by typing the following command:
chown demisto:demisto /var/lib/demisto/otc.conf.json
Restart the Cortex XSOAR server by running the following command:
systemctl restart demisto
The file is removed when Cortex XSOAR restarts.
