Recovering a Web Server Password

Fabric Manager Web Server user passwords are encrypted and stored locally on the workstation where you installed Web Server. If you forget a password, you can create a new network-admin user locally on the workstation where you installed Web Server and then log in and delete the old user account under the Admin tab.

To create a user on the workstation where you installed Web Server and delete the old user, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Web Server installation directory and cd to the bin directory.
  2. Enter the following line to create a user:
  3. addUser.{sh,bat} <userName> <password> 
     
    
  4. Choose Admin > Configure > Web Users > Local Database.
  5. You see the list of users in the local database.

  6. Select the user that you want to delete and click Delete to remove the old user.
