unable to change krbtgt password in Simple Directory Service

0

I was notified that I need to rotate my krbtgt password. When attempting to do so following the guidance provided by AWS here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/directoryservice/latest/admin-guide/simple_ad_security.html

My problem: The Admin user in my domain doesn't have domain admin permissions. Per the Simple Directory Service user guide, this should have been provisioned when the directory was created. How do I get domain admin permissions so that I can change the krbtgt password? If that's not possible, how do I reset this password?

Thanks so much for any guidance you can provide.

Are you using the correct built in administrator account and not a newly created admin user?

    I do not have the password to the Administrator account, and when I attempt to reset it, I get access denied (I've tried the Console as well as the CLI...and I am in the Admin group in the AWS account). If you know of a way to reset it, I sure would appreciate it.
