Create a second super administrator user as an alternative user in case the default Administrator user account becomes locked.

To create a second super administrator user, do the following:

       1.      Log on to the portal as user Administrator.

       2.      Create a new portal user.

       3.      In the group administration tool (User Administration ® Groups), add your newly created user to the group Administrators.

       4.      Log on to the portal using the newly created user, change its initial password and verify that the user has the correct roles assigned to it.
