Admin Login Lost

gregluce

Hi all. I'm a newbie at this. A guy set up the Alfresco for us as a document repository and left the company. I have a user account, but I can't get into the admin account. Is there a way to reset the admin password? I'm not sure what version it is. Probably only about 6 weeks old.

Any ideas?

Hi,

We are using Linux but I can imagine this will be more or less the same configuration on Windows. The admin password can be found in the web-client-config.xml file:

<admin>
   <initial-password>admin</initial-password>
</admin>‍‍‍

In Alfresco on Linux with Tomcat this file should be stored here: <alfresco>/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/web-client-config.xml
Hope this helps…

So yesterday i moved alfresco from the QA server to the production server. I made sure all the file paths and database settings were the same. My first problem was making the alfresco db user the owner of the database ( MS SQL 2000.) So i changed the owner of all the tables to dbo, re-created the user alfresco and then made him the owner of the database. Then everything looked ok till i TRIED TO LOGIN TO ALFRESCO. None of the users and there passwords worked. Since there are only 5 users i did the following.
Open the authority-services-context.xml located in WEB-INF\classes\alfresco, locate the xml tag <property name="adminUsers"> and add the tag <value>guest</value> just like below. This will allow you to access the system without logging in. Now you can reset any users password including the admin user.

<property name="adminUsers">
<set>
    <value>guest</value>
      <value>admin</value>
      <value>administrator</value>
    </set>
</property>

This appears to have been introduced in 4.0c, due to a fix for IE7/IE8 share download authentication problems.

This also occurs for 4.0d
