AEM 6.0 SP3 How change admin password?

Avatar

Level 3

Hello guys!! I was looking as long how change the password of the admin account and the solutions of others doesn't work for me, most people said about change the pass by Tools -> Operations -> Security -> Users :

But in my case the "Change Password" link doesn't work, it suppose to open a floating window for type the passwords but don't. I try others solutions but no one works, specially for my AEM 6.0 version.

Any help would be great, many thanks in advance.

In order to update this post, recently I notice that the floating window for change the password works with other browsers like Firefox or IE, but I don't know why on Chrome the problem persist, nothing happen when you click the "Change password" button, so my problem was solved with another browser, but I put here this info for help another one if needed. I was using a 54  or higher version of Google Chrome, and my display resolution is 1920x1080.

Thanks a lot to everyone, all your replies were very useful.

Regards.

Have you tried this action in classic UI e.g. /useradmin

Does it work in non Touch Mode?

Hello Peter, I try in classic but every user has a button "Set password", and this button is missing for admin account, intentionally I think.

Hi 

Please have a look at this article:-

Link:-http://experience-aem.blogspot.in/2015/07/aem-6-sp2-reset-administrator-password-to-admin-offline.ht...

//

1) Stop AEM 6 instance

2) Place the package reset_admin_pass_to_admin.zip in <AEM_Home>/crx-quickstart/install (create it, if there isn't one)

3) Start AEM 6 instance

4) Package should have installed. It contains /home/users/a/admin/.content.xml with rep:password set to text admin encrypted 

5) Login as admin/admin

 

I hope this would help you.

You can change admin password using Classic UI. http://<host>:<port>/crx/explorer --> Login --> User administration --> Find --> admin --> Change password

Please revert if my response didn't help or mark answered if it helped!

If you can then delete the admin user and restart your server. On restart it will re-create the admin user with default password as admin.
