Hi,

Anyone know how to reset an admin password when smtp is not setup, and security question is not filled out.

Get the following message.

On a local install, you may use PHPMyAdmin to edit your user table and set the `is_sys_admin` value to 0 for all users. Upon reaching the DSP admin console login screen again, it will prompt you to create your first admin user, which can then be used to manually reset other users’ passwords through the UI.

Just wanted to add a follow-up to this - I had to also reset the php artisan cache before the prompt screen came up:  
php artisan cache:clear
