Hi Geoffry, You cannot change the root password by changing accumulo-site.xml. This can only be done using 'accumulo init --reset-security'.
What property did you change in accumulo-site.xml? 'trace.password' or 'instance.secret'? The property 'trace.password' sets the password for the user used by the tracer. This user used by the tracer is typically 'root' which is the default for the property 'trace.user'. The property 'instance.secret' sets a secret unique to the Accumulo instance that all servers must know in order to communicate with one another. This is typically different than the root password. If you changed 'trace.password', just change it back to your original root password. If you changed 'instance.secret', try set it back to its original value. The default value for 'instance.secret' is 'DEFAULT'. If you don't know the original value, the manual has information on how to change the secret: https://accumulo.apache.org/1.9/accumulo_user_manual.html#_instance_secret I hope that helps. -Mike On Mon, May 21, 2018 at 1:52 PM, Geoffry Roberts <threadedb...@gmail.com> wrote: > How can I fix this? > > I have managed to get the passwords out of synch on my root account.
