How to reset MS server admin password

Dear all,
I am from RHEL and is new to solaris. I did not change my messaging server admin password. But he one I used before does not work now. How can I reset admin password? I can login amconsole.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jay,
I broswed this forum and found it looks like a common
issue -- admin password does not work suddenly for
some reason even if you did not change anything when
you use commadmin. But I still can logon Sun ONE
Server Console using the same password. Why does this
password not work with commadmin? When I tried to use
commadmin, I got
Invalid value for login ID: admin
Invalid value for login password
Invalid value for login domain:
I checked the LDAP access log and found the server is
responding to admin during BIND. Responding, how?
My domain is right,
thus the only trouble maker is password.
I also tried to use amadmin/password (they work with
amconsole), but it does not work either. As you
mentioned, it should work, too. How to make them
work?
Can you please help me further, Jay?you need to start looking more critically at the ldap logs. It's possible that you have more than one "admin" account, and that's confusing DA.

I apprieate you very much.

    Hi,
    As your notebook is a business class machine, security is more stringent - the password is stored in non-volatile memory and there are no 'backdoor' passwords.  Your best option would be to contact HP regarding this.

  • I lost my emac G4 installation disk, how can i get my admin password back?

    I lost my emac G4 installation disk, how can i get my admin password back?

    Here's one method to reset the password without the install disc:
    1. boot computer and hold the "apple" key and the "s" key.
    2. wait for terminal show
    3. release keys
    4. type without the quotes: "/sbin/mount -uaw"
    5. press enter
    6. type without the quotes: "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
    7. press enter
    8. type without the quotes: "reboot"
    9. press enter
    This will let you create a new admin account when you reboot your computer.
    Also, without the discs, look at Mac OS X Tip - No Password, No Root, No CD? No Problem.
    http://www.macobserver.com/tip/2003/06/16.1.shtml
    Here is a way to get around not knowing the admin password on Macs.
    To reset your OS X password without an OS X CD you need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:
       1. Reboot
       2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
       3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
              * mount -uw /
              * rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
              * shutdown -h now
       4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and you’re good to go again!

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
    If you cannot get this information from the seller

    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

    Did the email contain your name? Never click on a link in an email like that and do no enter any personal info after clicking in an email.
    There have been quite a few people getting these emails. They are a phishing attempt to get your personal info.
