[Fedora-directory-users] admin user password reset

[Dan Hawker]

Hi All,

Have managed to access the console from my Windows machine. (ended up
testing with a vmware instance I have around for testing Linux client
probs), however I seem to be having trouble logging on and wondered how
you reset the admin users password or why I am getting this error.

I can used ldapmodify and ldapsearch OK (just tests) using the Directory
Manager user, however it seems from reading some docs that it needs the
admin user to login.

I use the username fdsadmin and a password. have checked in the adm.conf
and admpw file and I am pretty sure all is right, I just can't login.

The error I get are below.

Thanks

Dan
