> Right now, the only mention of how to change an instance secret [is a note on the instance.secret property|http://accumulo.apache.org/1.6/accumulo_user_manual.html#_instance_secret] and the example invocation is wrong.
> The correct invocation:
> {code}
> accumulo org.apache.accumulo.server.util.ChangeSecret
> {code}
> The instructions should specify the following caveats
>   # The cluster must be down before running (verified by the tool)
>   # The command should be run as the user that controls the existing Accumlo files in HDFS (ref ACCUMULO-2971)
> The instructions for use should probably go in the troubleshooting section of the manual, and then get a link from the instance.secret property as well as [the accumulo settings section that talks about the instance secret|http://accumulo.apache.org/1.6/accumulo_user_manual.html#_accumulo_settings].
