Changing the Administrator Password
ACS 5.3 introduces a new role Change Admin Password that entitles an administrator to change another
administrator’s password. If an administrator’s account is disabled, any other administrator who is
assigned the Change Admin Password role can reset the disabled account through the ACS web interface.
