1. Open the Datameer file: das-env.sh 
2. Remove comment tag on: # export ADMIN_PASSWORD_RESET=true
3. Restart Datameer using property --resetPassword
4. When Datameer has restarted, the administrator user's password is reset to the default as written in the default.properties file.
5. Enter this default password and the admin user's password might then be changed to a new unique password in the user account settings user interface.
6. When complete, go back to the das-env.sh file and comment the line back in so the password doesn't revert to the default upon restarting Datameer.
