Yes you can. You just need to have the Authorization Token and Device ID to reset the same.

@Padmakumar Please mention all the steps to fix this error for the community edition. The video is suggesting me to use Swagger. When I tried creating login from different email id, I got the password reset email after 5 hours.

Additional Information

Reset API can do the following actions for all devices in the tenant or to a specific list of devices

  1. terminate all running executions

As per the JSON format, the '\' is considered as an escape character. Therefore, use one more "\" (ie '\\' in place of single \) so that it is not considered an escape character.
