Hi Kent, Thanks for the help but it does not work. I actually used the same command to try to change the admin password again and failed. I found the following warning in error.log in Sling folder:
13.09.2012 13:33:05.202 *WARN* [287533643@qtp-337858693-8] org.sakaiproject.nakamura.http.usercontent.ServerProtectionServiceImpl XSS Protection is disabled [isMethodSafe] 13.09.2012 13:33:05.202 *WARN* [287533643@qtp-337858693-8] org.sakaiproject.nakamura.http.usercontent.ServerProtectionServiceImpl XSS Protection is disabled [getTransferUserId] 13.09.2012 13:33:05.202 *INFO* [287533643@qtp-337858693-8] org.apache.sling.auth.core.impl.SlingAuthenticator handleLoginFailure: Unable to authenticate admin: null 13.09.2012 13:33:05.203 *WARN* [287533643@qtp-337858693-8] org.sakaiproject.nakamura.http.usercontent.ServerProtectionServiceImpl XSS Protection is disabled [getTransferUserId] 13.09.2012 13:33:05.203 *INFO* [287533643@qtp-337858693-8] org.apache.sling.auth.core.impl.SlingAuthenticator handleLoginFailure: Unable to authenticate admin: null The command I used was: curl -uadmin:admin -FoldPwd=test -FnewPwd=testing -FnewPwdConfirm=testing \http://localhost:8080/system/userManager/user/admin.changePassword.html I think Unable to authenticate admin: null is causing the problem. Any idea on how to solve this?
