Use the Groovy Rescue App.

Once set up as explained in the documentation link above, you can run the following script in the rescue app

Reset superuser with Groovy
session = MgnlContext.getJCRSession('users')
superuser = session.getNode('/system/superuser') 
superuser.pswd = info.magnolia.cms.security.SecurityUtil.getBCrypt('superuser') 
session.save()

After you run the script you need to stop the web app and uncomment the filters sections in web.xml before rebooting Magnolia (refer again to Groovy Rescue App).

    If you are on a devloping machine easiest is to set a breakpoint in info.magnolia.cms.security.MgnlUser.MgnlUser and set the values at runtime.

    I run into this frequently since I work with the platform but not the content itself, typically I don't have credentials for the resulting sites but periodically have to do maintenance or developement with h2 copies of them. I wrote a basic module that I just drop on the classpath which resets the supseruser account as a startup task. As a module, it does leave a mark in terms of a module node in the configuration workspace and obviously never use it on anything live, public or similar. https://github.com/wlfshmn/custom-magnolia-superuser-resetter
