Procedure to recover the Admin password for EMS.

Resolution

Unfortunately, there is no way to recover the Admin password for EMS. However, you can reset the Admin password by using the following:


1). Edit the file ‘users.conf’ and delete the password for Admin. 

2). Close and save the conf file.

3). Restart the EMS server to pick up the changes made from manually editing the conf file, as the data in this files are read at start-up by EMS.

4). Restart the Administration tool and login as admin with a null password.

5). Use the set password command to set new password:
   
                set password admin xxxxx

                Where xxxxx is the chosen password

6). Restart the Administration tool, login as admin with the new password.
