Reset Sitecore Admin Password
June 3, 2012
Forgot your Sitecore Admin password? Well there is a quick and easy way to reset your password to the default ‘b’ password. First part of the solution:
-
Find your Admin user in your Core database that you set up.
-
Go to the [aspnet_Users] table and find your admin user’s UserId. We will cross-reference this value when actually changing the password.
-
Go to the [aspnet_Membership] table. You can either search for your user using the UserId you just found, or you can execute this query to update the Sitecore Admin password:
UPDATE [Your Core Database].[dbo].[aspnet_Membership]
SET Password = '8dC23rEIsvuttG3Np1L4hJmJAOA=', PasswordSalt = 'joeLPwcwMq6L7kyuVfVS7g=='
WHERE UserId = 'the UserId value you found in step 2'
And that is it! your done. Try to login with username Admin, password b. Good luck.Tags: Sitecore,SQL
