Resetting the Administrator Password

Scenarios

For security reasons, regularly change your administrator password.

Precautions

• You can reset the administrator password only when your instance is in the Available, Backing up, Checking restoration, or Scaling up state. You can also choose to reset the password if an instance node becomes abnormal.
• If you enable operation protection, two-factor authentication is required for sensitive operations to secure your account and cloud products. For details about how to enable operation protection, see Identity and Access Management User Guide.
