一个多年的老客户，EASERVER的管理员密码忘记了，查了一些资料，把它重置了，做个记录

This is a really quick tip on how to reset password for the administrator id “jagadmin” used in EA Server. We use this id for everything from running it in development to production environment, only difference being in DEV we don’t have a password for the id, to make it easier to move from machine to machine.

By default, there is no password for the jagadmin id. The problem is, once you set a password, you cannot reset the password directly. The tools Jaguar manager (GUI) and the Jagtool (command line version) don’t allow you to reset password “for security reasons”. After I Googled a bit, I found a way.

Surprisingly, all you have to do to reset the password is to remove the line that has the below setting in the file called jaguar.props (this is the properties of the server itself, named jaguar).
