Lost administrator password Networker 7.6
Hi,
I have a Networker version 7.6.55 but I lost the administrator password. The software is installed on a Windows 2008 server. I tried the procedure indicated in documentation (with GST_RESET_PW) but it does not work.
Can someone help me please?
Thx

Hi Ami857,
You doing follow step.
A) To reset the Console administrator password on a Microsoft Windows system, do the following:
Check which account the 'gstd' service is running as (Log On As), usually this is the Local System account and therefore we need to set the variable within the System Environment variables rather than from the command line. If its running via another user then we should login as that user and set from the command line as described below.
set GST_RESET_PW=1
Note: For NetWorker Management Console 3.2, this change requires a reboot.
The password can now be set to a secure password once again. (For details, see " Managing NetWorker Console server users" in Admin Guide.)
Delete or unset the variable created in step 1 - Go to Computer Management > Properties > Advanced. Delete the variable under System variables (bottom window) or from appropriate user from the top window for User variables.From the command line, set the environment variable to null by entering the following command without giving the variable a value:
set GST_RESET_PW= (blank)
(press [Enter], without giving a value)
Note: For NetWorker Management Console 3.2, this change requires a reboot.

If it dint work, then you have not done it right, try doing it again. If possible try a server reboot too if using NMC on windows.
