    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 resetpass.bat.

      The user name and password are reset to admin.

    4. Log on to Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager using admin for both the user name and the password, and change the password

    Wait 5 Mint. after reset password and login

    Hello,

    Since you using the SEPM 12.1, you would not find the Resetpass.bat Utility.

    Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 has a new and safer mechanism to reset passwords. To reset the password, click the "Forgot your password?" link on the Manager logon screen. The old method for removing passwords has been removed.

    Check this Article: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH186978

    I would suggest you to create a Case with Symantec Technical Support.

    They would help you with a Resetpass tool for SEP 12.1

    To Create a Case OR contact Symantec Technical Support.
