reset password for Manager

[osubb]

I tried to login to the Manager of Tomcat 5.5. Forgot my password and now all it gives me is "access forbidden". Can someone tell me how to reset this? I do not have the security manager module downloaded. I'm on WindowsXP Professional.

Thanks

I think the passwords are in one of the xml files in TOMCAT_HOME/conf (users.xml ?)

thanks sedj for the response. But this doesn't help. I did put a new line int the TOMCAT_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml. I created a "manager" id and password. This still didn't help.

Whenever I try to go to Tomcat Manager, I use to get a user name and password screen to login. I didn't think I had any restrictions on number of attempts and tried a few different passwords. Now it won't even go to the logon screen, I just get the following message:

message: Access to the requested resource has been denied

description: Access to the specified resource (Access to the requested resource has been denied) has been forbidden.

Thanks for any help
