A member account created through Organizations has no root credentials, and centralized root access management blocks password recovery for it. The management account's root user cannot check this ("RootSession may not be assumed by root accounts"), so the guide now describes checking with a temporary Identity Center permission set.

Verified on the Foundation's account: the sandbox account reads "Not present".

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The management account's root user cannot assume a root session, so the
procedure needs a regular IAM principal such as an Identity Center user.

The audit shows Not present for a member account created through
Organizations, and password recovery is blocked once centralized root access
management is on. Describe checking, not deleting.
