If the login password of the Web Console administrative user (admin) is lost, Corticon provides a way to reset the password to the default (also admin).

To reset the administrator's password:
  1. Stop the Web Console's Tomcat app server.
  2. Select Start > Progress > Corticon Command Prompt.
  3. Enter set JAVA_OPTS=-DCORTICON_RESET_ADMIN_PASSWORD=true.
  4. Enter the startup command for the Web Console's Tomcat app server.
When the app server restarts, it resets the administrator's password.

After completing these steps, you can connect the Web Console and log in with the default administrator credentials, user admin, password admin. It is good idea to immediately replace the default password with your preferred administrator password.

Note: Do not set this property in startup scripts as it will reset the password on each startup. This should be only done only when the password needs to be reset. Subsequent launches of the Web Console should use the normal startup procedures.
