You should be able to change the neo-datasources.xml file which stores this stuff anyway. It's in your libs folder.

If the cfadmin is completely knocked out. I would actually advise just re-installing CF. You really need to know if everything is properly locked down (security wise) for the site. It'll need to happen at some point, at least you can plan out the down time.

Charlie,

I'd love to change the password but that's part of the problem, I can't even access the panel so authentication isn't even an issue at this point. The locally running web site hosting the admin panel has been disabled in IIS.

I've tried re-enabling it to no avail and can't get the blasted thing up.

At this point, I just need to associate the box to a different sql db. :/

Matthew, rather than tweak the DSNs, why not just tweak the requirement of a password to access the admin? :-)

Just google coldfusion lost admin password to find many documenting the solution. :-) It takes just moments, and you can restore use of the password to whatever you want. It's also not anything unethical. The solutions only work if you own/have direct access to the box on which CF is installed.

Afternoon All!

Does anyone know of a manual way to modify the data sources presented in the administrative panel?

I have a server where the old developer decided to disabled access to the administrative panel and I can't for the life of me find a way to turn it back on. Now, I need to change the DB that this server is pointing to.

Thoughts?

Thank you!
