You should be able to log into the directory console using the
"directory manager" credentials to change the uid=admin password.
Or also from the command line, bind as "directory manager" and try
change the userpassword attribute value of the entry
uid=admin,ou=Administrators,ou=TopologyManagement,o=NetscapeRoot

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.
