ColdFusion MX 7 Administrator Password Reset

The ColdFusion Administrator site will not take the password.

Has anyone had any issues with programing after the password reset?

I did not develop or program our server, just sort of picking up the pieces until we get a new Enterprise Web Developer.

System Configuration:

HP Proliant ML370 G2

Pentium III 1.3 Ghz x2

2GB RAM

Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP2

Macromedia MX 7.0.2

EMS SQL Studio MySQL Servers & Clients 5.0.27

MySQL Admin 1.0

IISLogs 1.0

My OBDC 3.51

    Navigate to your lib directory within your CF install, find neo-security.xml, make a backup copy of it, then open it in a text editor and set the value for admin.security.enabled to false. Then, restart CF. You should then be able to access the CF Administrator without any password at all. You can then reenable and reset the password.
