unfortunately it doesn't work

The only way to do this is via password recovery and booting from the CD/bootable USB/ISO.

The other issue you may encounter is ACS 5.8 is not patched is this bug.

5.8 is still TAC supported, if the password recovery procedure does not work, you should engage them.

this steps to reset cli admin

how can i show all user including gui admins users (defualt user for gui is ACSadmin)

so i can reset its password using #acs reset-password xxxx  from cli

I do not think we are able to list the web UI admin users. You may reset-password on acsadmin and take it from there.
