Issue with the admin user in alfresco 5.0

[udayakumar_p]

Looks like the admin user is corrupted. When i checked the DB, there is no admin user, when i tried searching the admin user using alfresco REST API it throws error as below. If the admin user does not exist in DB then why this error is thrown.

It looks like your "admin" user lost "cm:name" property, so it cannot be loaded:
