Hi, So I created the Gluu servers many months ago, and have seemed to lose my LDAP password that was set when I initially ran setup.py (bad, I know). Is there any recourse to resetting this password, or discovering what this password was set as? I'm attempting to change the domain for the Gluu server using [these instructions](https://github.com/GluuFederation/community-edition-setup/tree/master/static/scripts/change_hostname), but an LDAP password is required. Thanks so much, Josh N.

Is it Opendj or openLDAP

Opendj, sorry for not clarifying that initially!

I've found [this source](https://ludopoitou.com/2011/06/30/newbie-help-how-to-reset-the-directory-managers-password/), but I wanted to run the question by the Gluu staff first, before I screw anything up!

Hi, Josh. Michael is right, unless you specifically selected OpenLDAP during installation, your instance should use OpenDJ. Here are password recovery steps that should work for either, I believe: 1. Move into container 2. Dump the encrypted password: `# grep -i -e bindPassword /etc/gluu/conf/ox-ldap.properties | cut -d' ' -f2` 3. Decode it: `# /opt/gluu/bin/encode.py -d 'YOUR_ENCRYPTED_LDAP_PASS'` Let me know whether this helps.
