The second method posted by hymns worked for me... After doing the first method I got into the admin but got an error when trying to change the password.

- Open the the file
neo-security.xml. This is in the lib directory of you ColdFusion MX install, so for WindowsC:\CFusionMX\lib\and on UNIX/opt/coldfusionmx/lib - Change the admin.security.enabled variable to false.
Before:
<var name='admin.security.enabled'> <boolean value='true'/> </var>After:<var name='admin.security.enabled'> <boolean value='false'/> </var> - Restart the ColdFusion process.
- Change the password immediatly otherwise you will leave the administrator unprotected.

1) Go to PATH_YOU_INSTALL_COLDFUSION_MX\lib or Windows C:\CFusionMX\lib\ and on UNIX /opt/coldfusionmx/lib 2) Delete the file name 'password.properties' restart back ur CFMX and the CFMX will replace back ur 'password.properties' file and set the password to default 'admin' 3) Change ur password back as you want :)
