How to change openfire password or how to login in openfire







Im having some problems with SSL certificates, i reinstalled openfire to see if that would fix.
At login, it seems not be working the password i set in setup installation. Theres a way to change the password and resolve the issue of not be able to login.

1- Access openfire database
2- Select table ofUser
3- Edit admin row
4- Set encryptedPassword to NULL
5- Enter a temporary pass on plainPassword
6- Save and restart openfire server
7- Use temporary password to login (username is always "admin")
8- Go to Users and edit admin
9- Enter a new password
10- Have fun :)

  1. excellent, thanks for the info!

    i'm using the integrated openfire database which can be found @ \install_folder\embedded db\openfire.script

    Just open "openfire.script" with notepad and edit the "ofUser" line.
