Well... hypothetically you could do a search on the internet for a
coldfusion .cfm decrypt application, then decrypt the
"Application.cfm" and "index.cfm" file in the
/cfide/administrator/security folder. Then comment out anything which
has to do with checking to see if you've logged in and booting you
back to the login screen.
Then in theory by pointing to
127.0.0.1/cfide/administrator/security/index.cfm you'll not get booted
back to the login screen, and therefore you can submit a *new*
password for the administrator.
I say in theory because I've just testing this in CF5 and got it to
run, I don't have 4.5 local to test, but it must be pretty much the
same kinda thing.
That's how I'd do it, I'm sure there's a far simpler way.
Oh yeah, maybe take the box offline when you do this, and restore the
back-ups of the files which (of course) you made!
10 min job.
Hope this helps.
Dan.
