How to reset API Manager apiadmin user password

Problem

The "apiadmin" user password is unable to login to API Manager. How can the password be reset?

Resolution

A script is available to reset the API Administrator password.

Recommended: a flag exists on setup-apimnager at apigateway/posix/bin to reset the apiadmin account.
./setup-apimanager --help
./setup-apimanager --resetPassword -g groupName -n serviceName

API Gateway Admin (8090) user/pass is asked for 1st, and used to access kps for the reset.

Older script:

cd apigateway/samples/scripts

./run.sh ../../system/conf/apiportal/reset-apiadmin-pass.py --username admin --password changeme --adminPass NEWPASSWORD -g GROUP -n INSTANCE

Group name is: GROUP
Service name is: INSTANCE
