    Hello Lyondell,

    Thank you for your post. For ColdFusion 9, here are the steps:-

    1. Make a backup copy of CF_HOME\lib\neo-security.xml file.

    In case of multi-server editions, the path is: C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib\neo-security.xml

    2. Open the neo-security.xml file in a text editor and change 'true' to 'false' for the admin.security.enabled variable tag. For example, search the file for "admin.security.enabled" and change the entry as follows:

    <var name='admin.security.enabled'><boolean value='false'/></var>

    3. Restart the ColdFusion application server.

    You should now be able to bypass the login to the ColdFusion administrator. You can reset the password by choosing Security>Administrator.

    1. Expand Security and select CF Admin Password.

    2. Check Use a ColdFusion Administration password.

    3. Enter the new password and click Submit Changes

    For ColdFusion 10, please run the passwordreset.bat  at the following location cf_root\cfusion\bin\ file and follow the onscreen instructions.

    Regards,

    Anit Kumar
