You can’t, really. Which is kind of the point.

Use IS administrator to change the password of a user if the password has been forgotten.

What is driving the desire to recover the passwords?

hi,

We are facing some problem with Administrator privileges.

We are using username/ pwd as Administrator/manage, but now we are unable to open the Integration Server and even the Developer by using the above credetials.

So pls let us know how to get the username and password
or else
pls let us know some other alternate username and password to open the IS home page and developer.

pls take it high priority as there are 200 integration existing in the IS.

Pls kindly help us.

Did someone change the password? Which they probably should have as keeping the default password of “manage” is not secure.

If there is another user with administrator privileges, log on with those credentials and change the Administrator user password.

Another approach of last resort, is to copy the users.cnf file to a backup directory. Stop IS. Delete the users.cnf file. Restart IS. That will cause IS to recreate the file with the default user accounts and passwords. This will cause all your user accounts to disappear, however, and you’ll need to recreate them to restore service.

If there is not, contact wM tech support. They may be able to help recover things.

For future reference, always remember, you can use the default “dev” a/c to manipulate users/passwords;

That’s why, it is a security best practice to change all default user passwords - incl Administrator, dev etc.; (better still to disable default a/c’s and create new ones)
