Solution

Go to Firewall -> System- > Administrators and select the admin user.

 
 
Edit the admin user under 'Administrator profile and select 'super_admin'.
  
 
Now login again with the previous admin user account that had an issue and the restore option will appear.
 
 
From CLI:

Login with the super admin user account then enter the below command:
config sys admin
    edit <admin user name>
        set accprofile super_admin
    end
