CF 10 Invalid Password

Hi,

Machine config:

-64-bit

-Windows Server 2008 R2

I have CF8 installed on my machine. I shut off the services because I need to install CF 10. After installation, I could not login to the CF 10 administration, this is where the configuration wizard comes in. It always gives me the "Invalid Password. Please try again. " error. I tried the following but it did not work:

- use localhost instead of 127.0.0.1

- i connect remotely using the IP Address

- reset the password using the passwordreset.bat

ref: http://adobe.hosted.jivesoftware.com/thread/1049645?tstart=-1

I'm sort of on the dead end now and any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Correct answer jmsamland

Please try the following:-

Stop the CF10 services

Rename the neo-security.xml to neo-securityold.xml at the following location CFInstallation/cfusion/lib/

Restart CF10 services and try to login to the admin panel.


When I renamed neo-security.xml, the admin started throwing an IIS error.  So I renamed it back, and edited it, changing the admin.security.enabled boolean value to "false" and it's working!  Importing settings from CF9 now.  Thanks so much Anit_Kumar!

This one was driving me crazy too!

My eventual solution after:

- several re-installs of CF10

- several passwordreset.bat re-set attempts (using run as administrator)

- a few rounds removing the CFAdmin login requirement in the neo-security.xml file, logging back in and resetting the admin password... only to get the error again!

was to install FireFox on the server... I was then immediately able to log-in to the ColdFusion Administrator page without the password error.

I'm having this same problem.  Win7 64x, IIS7.  Had CF9 installed, installed CF10 using all recommended settings.  After installation when it wants to finish set up in the browser, it says "Invalid Password. Please try again."  I'm using a virtual machine, so cannot (to my knowledge) access the admin from another machine.  I've tried in Chrome, FireFox, and IE.  My windows firewall is disabled and am not running any other sort of security.  The CF10 install I used was downloaded on 6/27/12.  I tried redownloading, thinking this was something that was fixed, but the CF dev download link has been broken on the Adobe site for at least two weeks.

The default location for the ColdFusion Administrator login page is:

http://servername[:portnumber]/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

where servername is the fully qualified domain name of your web server. Common values for servername are localhost or 127.0.0.1 (each refers to the web server on the local computer).

If you are using the ColdFusion built-in web server, include the port number as part of the servername. The default port number for the server configuration is 8500; for example,

http://servername:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

If your ColdFusion Administrator is on a remote computer, use the Domain Name Services (DNS) name or Internet Protocol (IP) address of the remote host with the port number.

Hope it helps.
