details how to reset the administrator name after you log in with the existing credentials. To reset the
password, see
Resetting the Solution Engine Administrator Password, page 4-15.
Note The CLI administrator logon does not provide access to the ACS SE using the ACS web GUI. You must
set up an initial web GUI password using the add-guiadmin command. For information on setting up
an initial web GUI account, see Setting the GUI Administrator Logon and Password, page 4-17.
If you do not have the existing ACS SE CLI administrator login credentials, you must have the recovery
