The console supervisor account is the only user provided in the free version and you entered a password for this account when Quest Identity Manager for Unix was initially installed. This account is also used to change system settings in both the free and licensed versions of the console. To change the supervisor password, use the General page on the System Settings dialog (Preferences | System Settings). However, if you have forgotten the console supervisor password, you can reset it using the following procedure.
