Hi,

I am trying to Install a new Livelink server and connect an existing Livelink database on this server. Unfortunately, a problem appeared with the "Admin" account as its password is not recognized anymore. As you know, this account is necessary for file and user administration.

Two administrator passwords exist in Livelink
- The first is a server and database administrator . It is used to configure the server, create and connect the database to Livelink... This password is not a problem as it can easily be reset suppressing the "adminpwd" line in the opentext.ini file.
- The second is the "admin" account for users and files administration within Livelink.

Is there any way to reset the password of the "admin" user as it is done during a fresh installation of Livelink?

Thanks,
Nicolas
 
You can reset the password by updating the userpwd field in the SQL table KUAF. You should be able to run the following SQL statement to set the password back to 'livelink'

update kuaf set userpwd = 'o9R5FlSpGXe38pZFlHIoQ' where name = 'Admin';
commit;
