CMC asterisks in password field

[Former Member]

hi ,

i tried to change the Administrator password from CMC , but whe ndonig so i just appended to the appearing asterisks in the password field as i only wanted to add to the last password.

right now i cant log on .

so does anyone know if the asterisks will refer to other character than the ones in the original password .....

one other thing how can i recover a lost administrator password , incase i could'n't resolve the asterisk

you can reset your Administrator password using the following :-

login to your CMS Schema ( in ur database)

find a table called CMS_INFOOBJECTS

delete the row with the "ObjectsID" = 12

and restart your server,,, now the Administrator password is null

Note :- NO GUARANTEE

take a backup before you perform this opeation

Good luck

ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN ObjectID failed because one or more objects access this column.

Wasn't able to do so. Any other suggestions?

i didnt say "ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN ObjectID "

i just said delete the row with value 12 of ObjectID

delete from the table where ObjectID = 12

good luck
