Using the SEAGULL Web Manager

Resetting Passwords

If you run into a situation where you need to reset a User Account password, you can use the ResetPass utility to reset it.

  1. Locate the ResetPass.asp web page.  It is located in the [swm]/system/ folder.

  2. Edit the RestPass.asp page with a text editor like Notepad.

  3. Change the loginID and pWord variables to the desired values.

Example:

loginID = "mjones"

pWord = "ab56x90"

  1. Point your browser at http://serverpath/swm/system/ResetPass.asp.

  2. When this page is accessed, the password will be set to the value indicated in the file.

  3. Edit the RestPass.asp page again and remove the loginID and pWord variables.

Example:

loginID = ""

pWord = ""

This utility can be used to set the Password of any Login ID, but will probably used mostly to reset the "Owner" password.

NOTE  By default the loginID and pWord are empty strings "".  This prevents any unwanted use of this file.  You must have access to the server to alter it.
