Reset the forgotten password

In this post, I am going to explain “How will you reset your AEM password if you have forgotten your password.”

The default password for administrator user admin is admin. If the password was changed to something else, to reset your password to admin you have to follow some steps which are mention below:

  • Stop AEM instance.
  • Place the package reset_admin_pass_to_admin.zip in <AEM Home> / crx-quickstart / install (Create it, if there isn’t one). 
  • Start AEM instance.
  • Package should have installed. It contains /home/user/a/admin/.content.xml with rep:password set to text admin encrypted.
  • Login as admin/admin.
