There are two methods are there to change the password
Method 1:
open regedit and go to :
hkey_local_machine\software\allaire\coldfusion\currentversion\server
set UseAdminPassword to 0 and don't forget to set a new password afterwards.
Method 2:
>Step 1 : To reset your password in CF MX, go to C:\CFusionMX\lib where C is your installation drive. Then find the file neo-security.xml and you are going to have to edit the code in this document. look for the line
<var name="admin.security.enabled"> <boolean value="true" /> </var>
then change the boolean value from true to false. Restart the ColdFusion
Server. You should now be able to change your password. If you can't, you can
go directly to the page:
localhost/CFIDE/administrator/security/cfadminpassword.cfm
------------------------------------------------------------
Step 2: This step is to reset the password for ColdFusion for version 5
or earlier. Edit the registry (regedit.exe) and go to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE then go to Software then to Allaire then ColdFusion
then Current Version then Server. Now find the UseAdminPassword attribute and
set it to 0. Now restart your ColdFusion Server and go to the main page and you
should be able to log in with a blank password. If not navigate to the page
directly which is:
localhost/CFIDE/administrator/security/cfadminpassword.cfm
