Neetu,

Use the default one : admin (or) sdm (as defined in the installation document)

Hi Neetu,

You can look at the Hashed password from

:/usr/sap/J2E/JC00/SDM/program/config/sdmrepository.sdc

Use the command for changing pwd

\usr\sap\<SID>\JC<Sysnr>\SDM\program\sdm changepassword "sdmhome=<path to sdm/program" "newpassword=mynewpassword

Refer the document and forum thered here

Hi

It will be easy to change the password using the sdm command line option .I always change it using the follwoing command option's :

Stop the SDM Server first using the SAP MMC

Open the command line.

Go to the SDM\program directory.

It will be easy to change the password using the sdm command line option .I always change it using the follwoing command option's :

Open the command line.

Go to the SDM\program directory.

sdm jstartup "mode=standalone" "sdmhome=C:/usr/sap/<SID>/<Instance>/SDM/program"

sdm changepassword "sdmhome=C:/usr/sap/<SID>/<Instance>/SDM/program" "newpassword=test123"

sdm jstartup "mode=integrated" "sdmhome=C:/usr/sap/<SID>/<Instance>/SDM/program"

NOTICE the "/" instead of the "\" in the sdmhome path !

If the problem still persists , since sdm stores password in different places then you will have to change the password even in the secure store also

Use the Config Tool to change the entry in secure storage as follows:

1. Start the Config Tool.

(Execute <SAPj2eeEngine_install_dir> \configtool\configtool.bat.)

1. Select the secure store node.

The configuration for the secure storage in the file system appears.

1. Select the admin/password/<SID> entry.

2. Enter the administrator user's new password in the "Value" field and choose "Add".

3. Choose "File" --> "Apply" to save the data.

1. Finally restart SDM server.

Hope this helps ,please do not forget to reward points

Hi Neetu,

I don't know whether you can retrieve the password. But yes you can change the SDM Password. Follows these steps if you want to change password:

Open the command line.

1) Go to the SDM\program directory.

2) Execute :

sdm jstartup "mode=standalone" "sdmhome=C:/usr/sap/<SID>/<Instance>/SDM/program"

Wait for a confirmation that your setting was saved.

3) Execute:

sdm changepassword "sdmhome=C:/usr/sap/<SID>/<Instance>/SDM/program" "newpassword=abc123"

Again wait for a positive confirmation.

4) Execute : sdm jstartup "mode=integrated" "sdmhome=C:/usr/sap/<SID>/<Instance>/SDM/program"

Just to make sure it's set back to integrated.

NOTICE the "/" instead of the "\" in the sdmhome path !

I hope this helps you!!
