Yes, if you have CFREGISTRY enabled you can do a lot!
This code works for all versions of CF server (I've tested 4.5,5.0)
To get the password:
<cfset password_key = "4p0L@r1$">
<cfregistry
action="get"
branch="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Allaire\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\Server
"
entry="AdminPassword"
variable="AdminPassword">
<cfoutput>#cfusion_decrypt(AdminPassword, password_key)#</cfoutput>
--------------------------------------------------
To set the password:
<cfset password_key = "4p0L@r1$">
<cfset password = cfusion_encrypt("YOUR_NEW_PASSWORD_GOES_HERE",
password_key)>
<cfregistry
action="set"
branch="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Allaire\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\Server
"
entry="AdminPassword"
value="#password#">
<cfoutput>#password#<br>(encrypted password was added to
registry)</cfoutput>
Just replace "YOUR_NEW_PASSWORD_GOES_HERE" with your new password.

Subject: setting cf admin password - 2 questions
Hi all,
I'm wondering how can you set the cf administrator password using a regular
cf page? I can get the password no problem. I just want to set my own but
not via the administrator.
Also, getting the password for Cf4, has that changed in cf5 or can you use
the same code?
