Hi Andrea, did this help ?

> Two possibilities

> 1) Check for a file security/masterpw.info
> This file contains the master password and you can log in with the user
> root. root has ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR.
>
> 2) If you are using the default user group service, you can do the
> following:
>
> Open security/usergroup/default/users.xml. Look for the admin user and set
> the password attribute like
> password="plain:geoserver".
>
> Obtaining the master password is difficult. It is  located in
> security/masterpw/default/passwd. The password is stored encrypted and
> useless. You have to start a debug session to find this password in
> memory.  Please tell me if you need further assistance.
