CF 7 Administrator won't accept PWD

[Peterc0527]

When I enter my Admin password in CF Administrator, nothing happens. I know the
password is correct.I must open this to set data sources, etc. I have
installed CF7 after cleaning out the registry. Installation completed with one
error so I ran wsconfig to set 127.0.0.1 as server. I am using Home Site 5.5
and have set the mappings here correctly. Please help. Peter

What do you mean it won't accept? The field is blank when you re-edit it?
there is an error?

Thanks for the reply. I enter my password and press login. The dots of my
password are then extended to the end of the field and the field clears. No
error message. If i enter another (wrong) password, I get an error message,
'invalid password',

just to double check the setting of the password, and that it is correct,
open up the [installdir]\lib\password.properties file and make the following
changes:

rdspassword=UnenctyptedRDSPasswordHere
password=UnenctyptedPasswordHere
encrypted=false

make sure that you set the encrypted flag to false. They will be encrypted
when the server loads.

I got a message from Dean to edit the passwords.properties file, which I did. But it made no difference. I still can't get into Administrator. Any other ideas?

Dean,

Thanks for the reply. I tried rewriting the file twice, but no improvement. I still can't get into Administrator. Any other ideas? Shouls I uninstall and start over?

Do me a favor, disable javascript on your browser and try again.

we do encrypt the password with javascript and submit the encrypted password
instead. If you disable the js, this will submit the clear text password.
And if that works we have narrowed it down to the js.
