Resetting the smpAdmin Password

You can manually reset the current platform administration password.

Note: You must contact your IT department or administrator before changing or resetting the password. Only the person who has the right permission to change these files should perform this procedure.

Open the SAP Mobile Platform Server admin.xml file, located in SMP_HOME\Server\configuration\com.sap.mobile.platform.server.security\CSI, and modify this line:
```
<options encrypted="false" name="password" 
value="{TXT:}s3pAdmin" />
```
In this example, password encryption is set to false and the new password is set to s3pAdmin. You can replace this password with any password you choose.

Note: Do not remove the {TXT:} prefix.
Save the file.
Restart SAP Mobile Platform Server and Management Cockpit.
Log in to Management Cockpit using s3pAdmin as the new password.
When login succeeds, Management Cockpit opens the management view on the local SAP Mobile Platform Server.
In Management Cockpit, click Settings:
1. In Security Profiles, click admin.
2. Select System Login (Admin Only).
3. Enter the new password.
4. Click Save.
5. When you see the Authentication Provider Changes message, click OK.
6. Click Save.
  The file is overwritten using the correct syntax.
Log in again to Management Cockpit using the new password.

Go to SMP_HOME\Server\configuration\com.sap.mobile.platform.server.security\CSI, and verify that the admin.xml encryption is configured correctly, and that the password is no longer recorded in clear text.
