[p4] How to delete users when p4d is unable to start

[Michael Mirman]

I think you can delete the db.user file and get the number of users to 0.
See if it helps.

Posted on behalf of forum user 'AhiyaHiya'.
I recently upgraded my personal perforce server (running Ubuntu 12 LTS)
from
2015.x to 2016.2 using the installation instructions on
https://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/manuals/p4sag/chapter.in
stall.html#install.linux.packages.updating
The installation was fine, however, when the server started up, it would exit
with error 255.
Taking a look at the log file, I realized that I had more users than the latest
Helix server allows for; I forgot that helix now only allows 5 users, and I had
9 on my system before the upgrade.
Now, I'm in a situation where the server can't start up unless I delete
those users but I can't delete those users unless I start up the server.
So... how do I go about getting the server back online so I can delete the
users?
Thanks!
