Hi Koeli,

As already suggested above, Pls try following command to change the Admin account password.
"CLIX repEmergencyAdminUserSetPassword MdsHostSpec

RepositorySpec AdminCredentials"

For AdminCredentials use the format Admin:newPass.

MDS Scone holds good for server level password. Pls check and let us know !

Hi Koeli,

Try to delete the already existing password from MDS.ini file.

MDS Scone might have password in an encrypted format which needs to be deleted and followed by server restart.

Attached is snapshot (MDM.ini file with configuration settings) for your reference.

Pls check and let us know if this helped resolving issue.

Hello Ali,

Thanks for your reply,

As per knowledge MDS scone parameter is used to store the encrypted passwords  for MDM Console access to the MDM Server. Removing it will remove the password for the MDM Server.

My requirement is to delete the repository Admin password for all the repositories of the MDM servere and reset it to its default value.

Can you please confirm if deleting the value of the MDS scone parameter will help to solve my purpose.

Thanks,

Hi Koeli,

It will not help your problem. As you indicated, MDS Scone is for the MDS Server password.

The clix command is the easiest and most direct way to reset the Admin password of any repository in MDM.

Hi Koeli,

As described in the other posts, you should go for CLIX command to realize the concept of Emergency user in case of loss of all administrative User credentials.

Please refer to the link mentioned below which talks about exactly same problem as faced by you:

Hi Koeli,

As shown in your screenshot, you are using MDSHostSpec and RepositorySpec, but you should use Host name of your MDS and Repository Name for which you want to reset the password.

Credential syntax remains the same Admin:password.

Please enter correct values in command and run CLIX command once again.

This should solve your problem. Kindly let us know.

You can use the clix command "

CLIX repEmergencyAdminUserSetPassword MdsHostSpec

RepositorySpec AdminCredentials

Changes the Admin account password. For AdminCredentials use the

format Admin:newPass."
