This procedure outlines how to reset your root local user password to 'salt' for logging into the Aria Config UI if you have forgotten it. This should only be used as last resort as the command will reset what ever the current root local user password is to salt. If the user has another account with the permissions to change the root password in the Aria Config UI that method should be used
If the user has forgotten the root password to the Aria Config UI and they do not have another account that can change the password in the UI they can use this procedure to change the value to salt in the database.
