[jira] [Created] (ACCUMULO-3694) Include root password recovery steps in docs

Frans Lawaetz created ACCUMULO-3694:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Include root password recovery steps in docs
                 Key: ACCUMULO-3694
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3694
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: docs
            Reporter: Frans Lawaetz
            Priority: Minor


It would be helpful to add, perhaps in the Troubleshooting section of the docs, the semi-hidden feature that is:

accumulo init --reset-security

As a stab:

Q:  I've lost the accumulo root password, now what?

A: Running "accumulo init --reset-security" will prompt you for a new root password.  CAUTION: this command will delete all existing users.  You will need to re-create all other users and set permissions accordingly.
