How to reset password for users?
This article applies to all MetaDefender Core V4 and V5 releases deployed on Windows and Linux systems.

For cases when MetaDefender Core is deployed in an isolated environment and SMTP cannot be configured, the alternative way to bypass this is by removing the User and Re-Adding it with a new password.
