How to change cloudbreak admin password?

I launched cloudbreak deployer in azure using the quick start option. This option allowed me to set admin username and password. How do I change the password?

If you log in to the CB Web UI, there should be a button to reset the password at the login.
Screenshot of that is visible on this guide just after "8. Log in with the administrator email address and password created in the first step of the Azure wizard." ; https://community.hortonworks.com/articles/122086/get-started-with-cloudbreak-on-the-azure-marketpla.html

@sunile.manjee

In the Cloudbreak 2.x versions, there is no account management yet, so you cannot change the password of an already existing user

You can create another admin user though following the steps:

@Jonathan Sneep, you are referring to the Cloudbreak 1.16.x version.

Hope this helps!

@pdarvasi is correct. Just to close the loop, here is what I did on azure. I assume same would work for aws/gcp/openstack/etc

Update the following file:

/var/lib/cloudbreak-deployment/Profile

Edit the following lines

export UAA_DEFAULT_USER_EMAIL=NewAdmin@HeyNow.com
export UAA_DEFAULT_USER_PW='HeyNow'

and from the cloudbreak-deployement directory I ran

CBD_DEFAULT_PROFILE=tmp cbd util add-default-user

and new admin user was created. Simple.
