Potential Impact of ColdFusion Administrator Password Reset

There seems to be a way to reset the admin password to install ColdFusion . What are the potential pitfalls to be aware of before doing this?

As a rule, there are very few errors when changing the password.

The change - I assume in your case - only the password for the ColdFusion administrator will have the following effect:

  • Prevent access for any user who has a password to access the Administrator (duh!)
  • Break any code that adminapi uses to programmatically manage data sources, mappings, etc.

The first is probably not very worrying what I suppose.

The second is probably just a small problem. Very few ColdFusion applications use adminapi as it is easier to use with a GUI administrator! If you search the code for "adminapi", you can find out if it will affect your applications.
