Reset citrix license server

Can't remember the user name and password for the license administration console.


1) Open the "server.xml" file in C:\Program Files\Citrix\Licensing\LS\conf with Wordpad.

2) Find the entry that looks something like this:
<user firstName="System" id="admin" lastName="Administrator" password="(ENC-01)FNEXDFVVYBCK17cJ2oNQ+LkskjkzUyVV5ZcmaoJCDCiuiusbB6zk2P0uR" passwordExpired="false" privileges="admin"/>
















3) Erase the contents between the double quotes after "password="

4) Enter a plaintext password so it looks like this: password="test"

5) Change the passwordExpired value to be "true"








6) Save the server.xml file.

7) Restart the licensing services.

8) Log into the LAC using user name "admin" and the password you set.

9) You will be prompted to change your password.
