\x - Use the following command to list all FTK users and verify that the user knows the Application Administrator's username:
select * from [schema].users; - Use the following command to set the Application Administrator's password to be just the letter 'a':
UPDATE [schema].users SET password=E'\\xb75005aa8388d5f08735bc1de789ece1' WHERE userid=1000; - Launch FTK and log in as the Application Administrator, entering the letter 'a' for the password
