Reset Root Password
October 6, 2026|
The Agent accepts --reset-root to reset the root user password.
- Shut down Architect Agent.
- Open a command prompt in the Agent installation directory.
- Run the executable with the flag.
Windows:ArchitectAgent.exe --reset-root
Linux:ArchitectAgent --reset-root - Start Architect Agent again.
The new password is written to root.txt in the Agent installation directory. The Agent also prints that path when the reset finishes. Keep the file somewhere safe. The password is not shown again in the console after that run.
