db2admin lost administrators rights after password reset on Windows

After I reset my db2admin password on Windows today, I found it lost its admin rights such as create table, grant permissions...
To fix this:
1. Go to computer management > user and group > select db2admin and remove Administrators group from it
2. Apply and then add the Administrators group back to db2admin
3. Apply and then restart all DB2 windows services (or restart windows)

I experienced this problem on Windows only as DB2 is using windows credential as login authentication and authorization.

  3. That sounds like a frustrating situation! Here are a few potential explanations and solutions for why the db2admin user might have lost administrator rights after a password reset on Windows:

    Understanding the Issue:

    By default, db2admin on Windows typically leverages the Windows user account of the same name for authentication.
    Resetting the password for the db2admin Windows user account might not automatically update the credentials used by DB2 services.

    Update DB2 Service Credentials:
    This approach modifies the credentials used by DB2 services to reflect the new db2admin password.

    Open the Windows Services console (services.msc).
    Locate DB2 services: This could be named "DB2 - DB2ADMIN" or similar.
    Right-click the service and choose "Properties."
    Navigate to the "Log On" tab.
    Change the "This account" option to "Local Account."
    Enter the new db2admin password and confirm it.
    Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save the changes.
    Restart the DB2 service to ensure the new credentials take effect.
