Thanks for the suggestion. I think the link you sent me was to reset the Directory
Manager password. Forgive me if I am mistaken. Don't I need a procedure to change
the admin-server password?

Is there a procedure (however cumbersome) to reset the Management Console (admin) password
if the password is not currently known?
I changed the admin password in the Console GUI
(domainName/ldapservername/ServerGroup/Administration Server/Configure Admin
Server/Access(tab). I must have typed the password wrong twice because it accepted it.
Now I can't seem to type the password "wrong" in the same way to get into
the Management Console.
I have tried shutting down the Admin Server and copying in a /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/admpw
file from a different 389 server where I do know the password. After restarting and
typing in the known password, I get an error about not being able to contact the directory
server.
I have also searched for a password recovery procedure without success.
Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.
