ColdFusion 10 does not recognize password

[schmitl01]

I have seen a few discussions regarding the ColdFusion 10 admin password not being recognized.  I installed ColdFusion 10 twice thinking I did not remember the password, but I do know what the password was when I installed the software. 

I was able to get around not being able to open the console, by modifying the neo-security.xml file and now since I am using SSL/windows authentication, it prompts me only for my network username and password.  The problem is when I go into the administrator console not all of my icons display correctly.  It is as if I do not have rights.  I have used the password reset tool and then changed my password within the administrator console, since the password reset tool at least gives me a default password, and I still get invalid password when I try to logon as admin.  I have stopped and restarted the services whenever I change the neo-security.xml file.

Has anyone solved this issue?  I would still like to have the added security of logging in as admin.  I was also able to apply the mandatory update, but none of the other updates are automatically applying through the console.

Priyank, I was not able to connect remotely. I have IP Address Restrictions in IIS to restrict to just 127.0.0.1 and the actual IP address of the server. I am on a 2008 R2 server. I did have more of my buttons visible in Firefox, but not all of them.

Hi,

Are you trying to access this from IE10? Can you mail us request/response header?

Thanks,

I wiped the computer clean and did a clean install and it is now fine. There were some old remnants of Coldfusion 9 on the machine, so maybe that had something to do with it.

I have the same issues.  I'm installing the developer edition.  I previously had installed coldfusion 9 developer but uninstalled before installing. Like schimitt01 I installed a second time thinking that I forgot my password.  I just recently download CF 10 (x64) so the download is new and I'd think has all the updates.
