RTC 2 - how to recover forgotten ADMIN or user password ?

I may be hosed on this but if there is a way that I can recover my code that would be great. The story is this:

I have RTC 2 Express-C server installed on Linux Centos 5 (5.4 I think it was, now upgraded to 5.6). It has be running (and still is as far as I can tell) fine.

The client was Eclipse's J2EE bundle with the C (CDT) and RTC tooling added on. This as well was working fine until the disk on my workstation decided not to work. More or less why I was using RTC to have backups of the code. Unfortunately I had the client remember the password so I have not had to type it in for ages. It isn't what I thought it was, I have not recorded it or the admin password.

So I am hoping that someone can tell me how to recover either the password for ADMIN or my user password.

Thanks, Mike

If you are using Tomat as your application server then take at these IBM Technotes:

or

I just made it in a local server using Libert profile as webserver.

To re-enable the default ADMIN access:

1. Stop the Jazz Team Server
2. Go to <server_install_dir>\server\conf\jts directory
3. Edit the file: teamserver.properties
4. Change the property: com.ibm.team.repository.ws.allow.admin.access=false
    to:   com.ibm.team.repository.ws.allow.admin.access=true
5. Save the change

Under <server_install_dir>\server\liberty\servers\clm\conf directory, look for a file named basicUserRegistry.xml, and edit the file, then insert the ADMIN user on JazzAdmins group and save.

<group name="JazzAdmins">
        <member name="ADMIN"/>

Start the CLM server and login using your ADMIN acount. (ADMIN/ADMIN)
