Stupid move but lucky its my dev box someone sent me this, does it work and is
it possible - MIND the fact that I manager to overcome it quite okay by
installing MX7 over it and managed to get access to all my datasources
fine.Heres what someone sent me
<cfregistry action="GET"
branch="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Allaire\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\Server"
entry="AdminPassword" variable="adminpassword" type="String">
<cfregistry action="GET"
branch="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Allaire\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\Server"
entry="StudioPassword" variable="studiopassword" type="String">
<!--- Output Passwords To Screen using an undocumented "cfusion_Decrypt"
Function --->
<cfoutput><b>Admin Password:</b> #evaluate("cfusion_Decrypt(adminpassword,
PASSWORD_KEY )")#</cfoutput><br>
<cfoutput><b>RDS Password:</b> #evaluate("cfusion_Decrypt(studiopassword,
PASSWORD_KEY )")#</cfoutput><br>

Paste the code into a new CFM page and save the page as "ForgotMyPassword.cfm" into a web accessible directory on the webserver.
Open the web browser and navigate to the page you just created.

a more easy way...
1. open cfusionroot/lib/neo-security.xml
2. look for the line <var name="admin.security.enabled">
3. change the boolean value to 'false'
4. Save the file & restart ColdFusion
when you access the cfadmin page, it shouldn't flag you for a password. once
inside, you can declare a new password for cfadmin.
hth.
