Resetting the Administrator Password

Precautions

• You can reset the administrator password only when your instance is states Available, Backing up, Checking restoration, or Scaling up. You can also choose to reset the password if an instance node becomes abnormal.
• The administrator password takes effect immediately after being reset.
• For two instances with an intra-region DR or cross-region dual-active relationship, make sure that they have the same administrator passwords.
• If you enable operation protection to improve the security of your account and cloud products, two-factor authentication is required for sensitive operations. For details about how to enable operation protection, see Identity and Access Management User Guide.

You are advised to change the password during off-peak hours to avoid service interruption.
