Change or Reset Adobe Content Server Admin Console Password

To reset the password for the Admin Console, the sharedsecret field of the distributor table in the database needs to be changed for the built-in distributor. Execute this SQL command to change the password.

UPDATE distributor SET sharedsecret=x'7c4a8d09ca3762af61e59520943dc26494f8941b' WHERE distid=x'00000000000000000000000000000001';

This shared secret value will set the password to "123456". After you've made the change to your database, enter that password at the Admin Console login screen and change your password under the "More" menu at the top-right side of the screen.
