I have installed CF 10 and can not complete configuration or get in to cf administrator. I have use the resetpassword.bat and restarted the server, with the same result. I am working locally on the server.

Correct answer Anit_Kumar

Did you ever get an answer? I'm having same issue and did same things you tried. Also, Adobe support chat won't start.

Can you have a look at Troubleshooting ColdFusion Admin Login Issue — Adobe ColdFusion Blog and try the suggestion.

I am having the same problem. Worked fine for a couple weeks, then passwords just stopped working.

I am using CF 10 on a windows 2008 Server.

I have tried IE, Chrome and Firefox. Directly on the server and from a remote machine.

I have tried connecting through 127.0.0.1, localhost and the site IP.

I have tried running passwordreset.bat.

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing.

I have reset and cleared cookies and cache multiple times.

I have rebooted the server and restarted the services after each change.

Nothing has worked.

I can get into the admin only if I change admin.security.enabled to false in neo-security.xml. Though it gets me into the admin, I can't change the password. Obviously for security reasons this is not a good solution.

Please help.

Which operating system and browser you are using? If you are on Windows 2008 and using IE to access Administrator, please try some other browser or try accessing administrator from some other remote machine. Do you see authorization cookie being set in response header for the administrator console request?

I have bypassed the login by editing the value of “admin.security.enabled” in the neo-security.xml file. But after I get in the administrator, if I set a password, I am back to square one. I have also used the passwordreset.bat file and setting a password that way is not recognized either. I am connecting to the server from my desktop computer using Chrome. The server is a Windows 2003. I need to be able to set a password for the administrator login. How can I accomplish this?

Thanks,
