ArcServe – how to reset forgotten caroot password
Another “lost” sticky note that I needed today :)
1) stop the ArcServe services with cstop utility:
cd C:\Program Files\CA\BrightStor ARCserve Backup
cmd> cstop
2) Find and rename directory with the SERVER NAME under directory named Discovery:
Rename directory:
?:\Program Files\CA\BrightStor ARCserve Backup\Data\discovery\SERVERNAME
to something like:
?:\Program Files\CA\BrightStor ARCserve Backup\Data\discovery\SERVERNAME.BAK
3) Start ArcServe services with cstart
4) Change caroot password:
cmd> authsetup /p newpwdforcaroot
That's it. From now on use the new password to authenticate as caroot.
