BigIQ LTM Password Managment

Question

Does BigIQ support  managing the root and admin accounts for all connected LTM's? I have been tasked to reset the admin account credentials on the LTM's and would rather have this task done by automation rather than having to login to each box to change the admin account credentials. &nbsp;

I've double checked my BIG-IQ (v5.2) and this doesn't look like it is a feature i'm afraid. Most things that you can do with TMSH you can use with iControl REST so i'd explore this root to see if you can automate the process.&nbsp;
