I have just done an install of CF 11 three times today and the password that is created during the install does not authenticate.  I have read several posts, some of which date back to May 2014.  Is there not a hotfix for this issue?  Certainly the recommendation for changing a browser is understood as I am using IE, but still what about the hotfix?

Try this:

  • Navigate to the webroot of your site.
  • Take a backup of web.config and open it with text editor (notepad etc)
  • Comment the entry for mimeType extension of ".air" like <!--<mimeMap fileExtension=".air" mimeType="application/vnd.adobe.air-application-installer-package+zip" />-->
  • Save the file and restart IIS.
  • Launch CF Admin and try to login.

Also try the the passwordreset.bat (C:\ColdFusion11\cfusion\bin) via command prompt (Run as Administrator)

I have.  I have changed from IE to Chrome, still get Invalid Password.  I have added .cfm in IIS as a mime type, still get Invalid Password.  I have gone back to IE, added the site as a trusted site, still get Invalid Password.  What should I try next?
