Hi @gauravagarw
I would say this is by design. In this case, only the SN Now Support team can assist you, or any other user with security rights can reset the password. Are you not using SSO?

So, if everything is confirmed and it's clear that an admin user cannot reset the password for an upper-right user, you can go ahead and close the thread.

If a user with the security_admin role has a locked account or needs a password reset, a user with the admin role can remove the security_admin role temporarily, reset the password, and then re-assign the security_admin role.
