Problem logging into Lucee Server Administrator

Hello all,

Just a small question. I was installing Lucee on a development Windows
machine that previously had Railo and Lucee installed.

When I installed Lucee (latest stable release) again, it asked me for an
administrator password. I used a standard password that I always use for
development machines. But when the install was complete, the standard
password didn’t work on the lucee Server admin. First time I thought I had
made a mistake typing, but I ended up uninstalling and installing Lucee 3
times. All 3 times I could not log in with the given password. So probably
Lucee has the password stored somewhere from a previous install. I looked
online for a reset, but they all seem to concern previous versions of Lucee.

What can I do? Hope to hear from you!

Hi Marcel,

If you remove the hashed password from the file {lucee-install}/lucee-server/context/lucee-server.xml, then you should get the “enter new password” screen when you go to the server admin.
To be exact, you need to remove the “default-hspw” and “hspw” attributes from the cfLuceeConfiguration tag:

You might need to restart Lucee after you remove the passwords from the xml file btw.

Kind regards,
