Creating a new administrator user ID and password

If you forget your administrator password, complete the following steps to create a new user ID and password.

1. In Host On-Demand install\HostOnDemand\private on the Host On-Demand server, where Host On-Demand install is your Host On-Demand installation directory, open ConfigAgentParms.Data in a text editor.
2. Look for the following line:

   ADMIN=WriteUserFolders admin|password

   This line contains the default administrator ID and password, which are admin and password. Your current password is not saved in this file.

3. To add a new administrator ID, type a second name and password after the default ID and password, for example:

   ADMIN=WriteUserFolders admin|password admin1|testpw

4. Save the file to its original directory on the Host On-Demand server.
5. Restart the Host On-Demand Service Manager.

You can now log on to Host On-Demand Administration using the new administrator ID and password. According to the example, use the ID admin1 and the password testpw.
