Resetting User Passwords

The following procedure describes how to reset a lost password from outside the Zend Server UI.

Important!

If you are using Extended Authentication, the procedure will also revert your authentication method back to Simple Authentication. Once you have accessed Zend Server with your new password, you can switch your authentication method. For more information, see Working with Authentication and Passwords.

Note:

This procedure can only be performed by user 'admin'.
