Resetting Data Center Console (DCC) Password in Linux

{code}# cd /usr/sbin/r1soft-datacenter-console/conf{code}
Create a file named {{adminreset.properties}} with your username and a new password (in this example, we are resetting the password for user "admin" and using the password "r1soft").
{code}# echo -e "admin.user=admin\nadmin.pass=r1soft" > adminreset.properties{code}
Then restart the DCC service.
{code}# /etc/init.d/cdp-console restart{code}

{info:title=Tip}
A good practice to prevent this issue is to create "back door" super-user accounts on your CDP and DCC servers. By having an account with the same username and password combination on each of your servers, you can be sure you'll always be able to log in. You would then be able to reset the password for the primary super-user account after logging in as the backdoor user.{info}
