Incase i forgot the password of my admin console account, how to reset it?

Resetting the administrator password to admin

You can use the resetpass.bat to reset the password for the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager admin account.

Note:
 If you change the admin account name to something other than admin and then subsequently run resetpass.bat, it changes the account name back to admin.
 

To reset the administrator password

1.Open Windows Explorer on the computer that runs Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager.
2.Locate the <Drive>:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Tools folder.
3.Double-click the resetpass.bat executable file.
The password is reset to admin.

4.Change the password immediately.
 

 Warning: Do not use the "admin" account when setting up Active Directory Authentication. You must use a new Administrator account to use Active Directory authentication. For more information, see the Symantec Technical Support knowledge base article,

Hi;

For SEP 12.1 the resetpass tool had removed. If you need it you can create a support case. And they will send the .bat file to you
