			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes the Citrix licensing server doesn&#8217;t get accessed for a long time, maybe the admin leaves and is replaced and no-one made a note of the password. Suddenly, you can&#8217;t access the licensing server any more. What to do ?</p>
<p>If you have access to the disk sub system (ie.. the files) on the licensing server then it is possible to reset the admin password.</p>
<p>1. Open the &#8220;server.xml&#8221; file in C:\Program Files\Citrix\Licensing\LS\conf. If on Win2k8 you will need to open your editor as an admin. (Take a copy of the file first &#8211; if anything goes wrong you can simply copy the file back to restore the original settings).</p>
<p>2. Find the entry that looks something like this:</p>
<p>&lt;user firstName=&#8221;System&#8221; id=&#8221;admin&#8221; lastName=&#8221;Administrator&#8221; password=&#8221;(ENC-01)LKJ338u98uxkllS(*U+ljljlja-$78923ghJgs&#8221; passwordExpired=&#8221;false&#8221; privileges=&#8221;admin&#8221;/&gt;;</p>
<p>3. Erase the contents between the double quotes after &#8220;password=&#8221;</p>
<p>4. Enter a plain text password , for example password=&#8221;TemporaryPassword&#8221;</p>
<p>5. Change the passwordExpired value to be &#8220;true&#8221; and save the server.xml file.</p>
<p>6. Restart the licensing services or, at a push, reboot the server.</p>
<p>7. Log into the licensing console using user name &#8220;admin&#8221; and the password set above.</p>
<p>8. You will be prompted to change your password. The new password will be encrypted in the server.xml file.</p>

<p>set-location HKCU:</p>
<p>Note the colon at the end of the command.</p>
<p>You can then list the various items by using ls or Get-ChildItem. Setting the drive to the environment (Set-Location Env:) and then using Get-ChildItem lists all of the environment settings for the system</p>
