This document provides instructions for accessing the Java Web Server Administration Tool and recovering your login password (should you forget it).

Procedures:

• To Access the Java Web Server Administration Tool
• If You Have Lost Your Password

To Access the Java Web Server Administration Tool:

1. Start the Java Web Server.
    
2. Connect to the Administration Tool by typing its URL.

   For example, if the host name for your Java Web Server is bagua and the Administration Tool is on the default port, then you would enter the URL:

   http://bagua:9090/index.html

3. Log in using the default user name admin and the default password admin

Once you install the Java Web Server and log in to the Administration Tool, it is recommended that you change your default password and assign your Administration Service to a new port (not 9090). This will provide additional security for your Java Web Server. For details on performing these steps, see the Properties document.

NOTE: Most server properties can be changed without needing to restart the server. However, if you change the default port, you must restart the server. To change the default port number, use the Network Setup page.

If you change your Administration password and then forget it and can no longer access the Java Web Server Administration Tool, you can recover as follows:

1. Stop your Java Web Server.
    
2. In your favorite text editor, open the file

   server_root/realms/data/adminRealm/keyfile

3. Change the admin line there so that it reads:

   admin::YWRtaW4=

4. Save the file.
    
5. Restart your Java Web Server.

You should now be able to access the Administration Tool using admin as the login and password.
