Resetting Call Manager Admin Account

[TariqMK]

I know when you want to reset the password for the Call Manager 'Administrator' account, we can do so by accessing the CLI and using the following command:

utils reset_application_ui_administrator_password

However, as per my understanding, this is only for resetting the account named 'Administrator'.

What do we do in an environment where the account for Call Manager Admin access is called something else, 'CCMAdmin' perhaps?

Hi Khan,

Do you see ccmadmin under User Management -> Application user page

Hi Jitender,

Yes I do, I have made this user as a separate Admin User.

Hi Khan,

You need to reset the password on the user on the page and it would work.

(Rate if it helps)

Hi Khan,

Were you able to reset password for that user?

You can use the following method

admin:set password user admin
Please enter the old password: ********
Please enter the new password: *********
Reenter new password to confirm: *********
Please wait...

Password updated successfully.

It doesn't matter if the admin account name that u created at the time of installing cucm was 'administrator' or 'ccmadmin' or 'admin' , it will change the password for whatever it was named at the time of installation.
