Hi ravi,

i dont think there is any option to change alone the visual admin default connection password.

Remember,whenever u change a password,it should be changed in 3 places.

useradmin,securestore of configtool and sdm password to ensure that the password is completely changed in all places.

As said in above replies,activate sap* user in configtool and reset the password of administrator in useradmin.

then reset the password in configtool securestore parameters.

then reset the sdm password as said above reply.

restart the engine after all this changes.

regards

1.Start the Config Tool C:\usr\sap\<SID>\<engine-instance>\j2ee\configtool\configtool.bat

2.Goto cluster-data --> Global server configuration --> services --> com.sap.security.core.ume.service

3.Double-click on the property "ume.superadmin.activated = TRUE"

4.Double-click on the property "ume.superadmin.password=<Enter any password ex: abc123>"

4. Reset or change password for "Administrtor"

<b>STEP-3: Disable "SAP*"</b>

Hi Cesar Moyano,

<b>SDM Password Change</b>

Just enter following lines in your COMMAND LINE:

1. enter SDM directory as: cd C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\SDM\program

2. Execute the following (just copy-paste)

sdm jstartup "sdmhome=C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\SDM\program" "mode=standalone"

3. Execute following line (replacing Password1 with your new password for SDM)

sdm changepassword "sdmhome=C:\usr\sap/J2E/JC00/SDM/program" "newpassword=Password1"

4. I suggest also revert SDM back to integrated mode

sdm jstartup "sdmhome=C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\SDM\program" "mode=integrated"

5. Start SDM &#61664; StartServer.bat

<b>Pleae Reward points; if it is helpfull.</b>

Hi Ravi,

Go for Barry's solution first. I was wrong password can be reset but the condition for this to work is that the user should not be locked. Actually I was looking at the issue from that perspective.For that you definitelyneed to activate emergency user. If the user is not locked try to change password through config tool.

We use this little program:

http://www.gregorybraun.com/PassKeep.html

on a network for all of our Centrally maintained usernames and passwords.

This program is kept on a restricted part of the network and is password protected. It can only be accesed by our Basis team. Then we can all maintain passwords as they expire.

Use the configtool, Select Secure Store > change admin/password/<SID>

Log on with this new password!

Hi Ravi,

Well you cannot change the password without login into the user.

Now you need to login as use SAP* which is the emergency user. Please check this link for this:

Use the serach functionality in SDN and serach for "J2EE password reset", you will find several posting solving your problem. The same info can also be found in the SAP help documentation, and in OSS notes.
