If you're talking about a browser-requested password, then your problem lies with your
Apache web server. Consult your Apache documentation on how to secure (or not secure
in this case) your web server.
If you're seeing the CF Administrator login page and you've forgotten your password,
you can reset it by either reinstalling ColdFusion, or by changing the registry value
of the "UseAdminPassword" key. In doing so, you'll be able to access the CF
Administrator pages without logging in.
Open up regedit
Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - Allaire - ColdFusion - CurrentVersion -
Server
In the right column, you will see the UseAdminPassword key and you'll notice that it's
value is set to "1".
Double click on the UseAdminPassword key to edit its value.
Change the value to 0 and click OK.
Now, reload the CF Administrator login page in your web browser. You'll automatically
be taken to the CF Administrator main menu. Be sure to reset the security settings in
the CF Administrator.
