Step-by-Step Password Recovery Procedure for Resource Manager Essentials

Follow these steps:

1. Log in as a privileged user:

   • root—(on Solaris/HP-UX/AIX)

   • Administrator—(on Windows NT/2000)

2. In order to stop the Daemon Management process, issue these commands:

   • c:\net stop crmdmgtd—(for Windows NT/2000)

   • #/etc/init.d/dmgtd stop —(for Sun Solaris)

   • #/sbin/init.d/dmgtd stop—(for HP-UX)

   • #/etc/rc.dmgtd stop—(for IBM AIX)

3. Enter this text in order to edit the cwpass password file to change the password for user admin:

   • For Windows NT/2000:

     C:\> cd \Program Files\CSCOpx\lib\classpath\com\cisco\nm\cmf\servlet
     C:\> edit cwpass 

   • For Solaris/HP-UX/AIX:

     vi /opt/CSCOpx/lib/classpath/com/cisco/nm/cmf/servlet/cwpass 
     

   Here is an example of the cwpass file:

   RME Version 3.2 and earlier	RME Version 3.3 and later
   admin:22335f595e::::F::	admin:0DPiKuNIrrVmD8IUCuw1hQxNqZc=::::F::
   guest:::::0::	guest:HE8Mbri/i78RzCrhzcxcXR86PBY=::::0::

4. In order to restart all Daemon processes, issue these commands:

   c:\ net start crmdmgtd——(for Windows NT/2000)
   # /etc/init.d/dmgtd start——(for Sun Solaris)
   # /sbin/init.d/dmgtd start——(for HP-UX)
   # /etc/rc.dmgtd start——(for IBM AIX) 
   

   The administrator password is now restored to its admin default value.

   Note: To log in to RME as administrator, use Name: admin and Password: admin.
