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

["Sean Busbey (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3694?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14378259#comment-14378259 ] 

Sean Busbey commented on ACCUMULO-3694:
---------------------------------------

Great idea Frans. I think we'll need to call out the warning more than just in the main text. If you'd like to take a go at making a patch, the file to change is [docs/src/main/asciidoc/chapters/troubleshooting.txt|https://github.com/apache/accumulo/blob/master/docs/src/main/asciidoc/chapters/troubleshooting.txt]

Before we raise the visibility of this feature by adding to the troubleshooting area, I'd *really* like to see ACCUMULO-3626 get done. But having the docs ready to go would be nice.

> 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.
