Reset Password for Admin User AEM 6.x

This application resets the admin password to the default value without the existing password.

Supported AEM versions

AEM Password Reset
6.5 1.1.x
6.4 1.1.x
6.3 1.0.x
6.2 1.0.x

Usage

Drop aem-password-reset-content-<version>.zip into <aem-home>/crx-quickstart/install (create the install folder if it isn't there).

The bundle contains an activator that will execute as soon as the bundle is installed (see Activator.java).

The contents of logs/error.log should look something like this:

20.03.2017 16:25:40.485 *INFO* [OsgiInstallerImpl] com.shinesolutions.aem.passwordreset BundleEvent INSTALLED

Once the admin password has been reset, you may remove the package from the install directory to uninstall it. The contents of logs/error.log should look something like this:

20.03.2017 16:32:40.365 *INFO* [OsgiInstallerImpl] com.shinesolutions.aem.passwordreset BundleEvent STOPPING

Resetting additional passwords

This bundle activator may take a pre-configured list of authorizable IDs via an OSGi configuration file.

/apps/system/config/com.shinesolutions.aem.passwordreset.Activator:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jcr:root xmlns:sling="http://sling.apache.org/jcr/sling/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0"
    jcr:primaryType="sling:OsgiConfig"
    pwdreset.authorizables="[admin,deployer,importer]"/>

With this configuration, the password for deployer will be reset to deployer, the password for importer will be reset to importer, etc.

Note: a change to the OSGI configuration will trigger a restart of the bundle which will reset the passwords.

Building

This project uses Maven for building. Common commands:

From the root directory, run mvn clean install to build the bundle and content package.
