I'm trying to reset the CFAdmin password on a CF11 Enterprise server that has multiple CF instances running on the same server. The admin password on one of the instances is unknown, so we're trying to recover/change to a known password.
I've tried using the passwordreset.bat provided by Adobe, but after restarting the instance with lost admin password, that didn't work.
I also tried disabling the password all together to access the admin console per adobe. This gets me into the admin console temporarily, but I'm not able to actually change the password since I don't know the old password. Leaving the old PW blank, fails too. This is not a viable long-term option, we must have a password.
I even tried editing the password.properties file to type a password and set encryption=false, but that didn't work either.
I think I've exhausted all the standard ways to reset the password to no avail. Is there something else that I should do because it's a multi-instance setup? Is there some way to point it to the specific instance I want to change?

I am having trouble logging in to my virtual machine. When I click the RDP button on the virtual machine page it opens a window requesting a username and password (photo attached). I set this up a long time ago so I can not remember the password, I have tried a couple of common passwords I use as well as the password to my google account but none have worked. How can I recover or change this username and password. I don’t know if this is the right place to ask but I have tried contacting google cloud support and it seems I can not get this kind of help without paying.
The login page?
Edit: For anyone else looking for the answer you need to go the the VM page in google cloud console, click the 3 dots next to the RDP button and select create windows password. This will give you a temp password which you can change after logging in
If you have permissions compute.instances.admin and iam.serviceAccountUser by following the document you can generate new passwords for your windows VM.
We are facing an issue to Remote Desktop login to an AWS windows instance. When we tried to login to the RDP using our user account (which is created by Admin) it is showing the error “The User Profile Service failed the login - User profile cannot be loaded”.
We also tried to regenerate the admin password from AWS admin console using “.pem” file . But when we tried to click the “Get Password” from instance listing page ,it is showing an error saying “Password not available yet:-Please wait at least 4 minutes after launching an instance before trying to retrieve the auto-generated password.” How can we solve the issue and regain the access to instance?
If you have any idea related to this issue, it would be grateful.
The password would not have changed from the random password that was assigned when the instance was first launched. So, if you remember it, just use the same password.
Of course, you can update the password through standard Windows techniques (Change Password, or joining a Domain). In this case, the original Administrator password is no longer valid.
By the way, it is recommended that after you start a new Windows instance via 'Get Password', you should change the password or attach it to a Domain as per your standard security practices. You should not use 'Get Password' as a standard security practice. It's just a way of providing you with initial access to a Windows EC2 instance.
Informatica Server was setup at our local server, but unfortunately nobody remembers the Admin Console password for user "Administrator".
1.) Using pmpasswd, I created an encrypted password and replaced the current one in PO_USERINFO table "POU_PASSWORD" field, in the database I found on my "Informatica_9.6.0_Services" log file, but the service would not restart. I had to revert it back for the service to run again.
2.) I have tried using default user name/ password combinations but they aren't working
Any suggestion is appreciated.
The only way to reset a lost admin password is at the database level. Informatica Support has a process for this if you contact them.
Do not alter the database yourself!!
I just created an Azure VM using the Windows 8.1 image in the Marketplace. During the creation process I provided a username and password.
After the VM has been created I press connect and try and login via MSTSC - using the credentials that I just entered (with a slash to remove the domain).
But I keep getting 'Your credentials did not work'. What have I done wrong? This procedure has worked for me in the past.
Furthermore, when I review the users of the VM through the portal, I only see 'Subscription admins' containing my Microsoft ID. I can't login using my Microsoft ID either.
First of all, I don't know why someone downvoted this question. It was legitimate, it also happened to me and I reached this post while trying to find a solution.
Currently I found it. I created a Windows 8.1 VM in Azure and, after providing a username and password, I was getting the 'Your credentials did not work' message when giving them.
I tried some variants and I finally got sucessfull by adding the machine name as the domain (as the user I created is local, it makes sense).
e.g. if your machine is xpto.cloudapps.net, try logging using "xpto\username" as your username.
It worked with me.
After installing Domain in the server, you need to login with domain name.
like
domainname\user
That will resolve the issue
In the Django tutorial, I'm at the part that says "You'll see a message for each database table it creates, and you'll get a prompt asking you if you'd like to create a superuser account for the authentication system. Go ahead and do that." I'm using Django 1.2.3.
In case it's relevant, I'm using SQLite, and in the settings file under mysite, I didn't set a password because you're supposed to leave it blank for SQLite. But right now I'm setting up the superuser account in the command line and it's demanding that I set a password. And it won't let me type.
So I leave it blank, and hit enter (which does work), and it asks me to confirm my password. I hit enter again. And it tells me, "Error: Your passwords didn't match."
Is there a reason it won't let me enter any text? Is there a way to get around this? This is just a development server, so I'm OK if the solution involves not setting a password at all, but it's not letting me do that either.
OK, so I know I have to enter something non-empty. The problem is, the command line is literally not letting me type there. I hit keys and the little blinking underscore doesn't move. All it will allow me to do is hit enter while it's still blank, but then the empty passwords don't match. I want to know why it's not letting me type.
You are not suppose to see the password you are typing. Just type your password, repeat exactly same password when prompted and you should be ok.
The Django superuser password is independent of the password used to authenticate with the database server. The reason it won't let you set a non-blank password is because it's a security risk; Django doesn't care that your app will never see public use.
The password for the authentication module is separate from your database. You'll have to set a non-blank password for the superuser.
