Coldfusion Server Admin access and Mail server

[Lesio]

Is it possible to change the mail server used by Coldfusion to send e-mails other than through Administration web page ?

Also, how can I reset password for Coldfusion administration web page ?

Thanks a lot,

You can specify what mail server to use in your cfmail tags if you don't want to use the one listed in the CF Administrator. I believe you need access to the Administrator (or the actual server) to change settings like mail server and password.



Hope This Helps!

also to change the CF admin password, there is a link at the bottom of the left side in the admin 'CF Admin Password'

but, if I don't know the password at all, how can I get in or reset the password ?

<CFSET CFKey = "4p0L@r1$">

<CFREGISTRY
    ACTION=GET
    Branch="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Allaire\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\Server"
    Entry="AdminPassword"
    Variable="AdminPassword">

<CFOUTPUT>
      Registry Password: #CFusion_Decrypt(AdminPassword, CFKey)#
</CFOUTPUT>
