The Agent comes with an optional launch parameter to reset the root user password: `--reset-root`

To process a root user password reset, follow these steps:

  1. Shut down Architect Agent
  2. Navigate to the Agent installation directory using a command prompt (CMD, PWS, BASH, SH, etc.)
  3. Execute the Agent by calling its executable name using the launch parameter
    Windows: `ArchitectAgent.exe --reset-root`
    Linux: `ArchitectAgent --reset-root`
  4. Restart Architect Agent

The root user password, will not be written to a new file `root.txt` inside your Agent installation directory.
