Hi,
Go for user profile in party manager. Under user names you have the
options to enable or disable and u can change the password.

David et al,
What special chars are allowed to be used in the passwords. I'm not sure if
it applies to all but I seem to have some problems with some of these;
!@#$%^&*()_+?
Thanks as always for the help.

And yet amazingly there is an encrypted password string in the XML
file...
The easiest is to load the seed, seed-initial, and whatever other
initial data you need/want and then to change the admin and related
passwords through the Party Manager, and then you're set to go. The
passwords are part of the seed-initial data, and that should never be
loaded again (though if you suspect anything has changed there, then
you can do a data set diff in webtools to see what is different
between the database and the data files and selectively make updates).
On a side note, you really should disable the admin account and not
just change the password. All users, even admin users, should have
their own individual named accounts. It's a good security practice,
and mandate for things like PCI compliance.

Hello BJ,
I think that xml file contains password in excrypted form. How can one
change that file in that case.
One has to put the encrypted password only in that xml file. i think it
seems impossible to to put encrypted password in xml file?

admin is a user login not a party ID.
if you want to change the seed data
/framework/security/data/securitydata.xml
otherwise you can go into the partymgr lookup the admin party and go
through the logins for each admin login and change the password there.
