How to reset lost web administrator password?

Question

I've forgot the Buru SFTP Server web admin password. How can I reset it so I can use the web administration again?

Answer 1

You can reset the user password using the command line.

1. Login into the computer running the Buru SFTP server. Use an account with write access to the Buru Server configuration directory. This usually means that you must use an account with local administrator rights.
2. Use the Buru SFTP Command Prompt, or start the console and switch to the Buru SFTP Server installation folder. Default location is c:\Program Files\Rebex Buru SFTP Server.
3. Use the command burusftp user update {WebAdminUserName} -p
4. Enter a new password
5. Login in to webadmin to verify the change. The default local address is http://localhost:8880/

Tip: If you are not sure what the correct admin account name is, use the burusftp user list command.
