Okay, I copied the database to my system (host is headless Linux), installed latest SquirrelSQL client copied the password field from another user that I remembered and was able to log in.
THANK YOU! However, when I attempt to change the password, it tells me: Password provided does not match existing. I can log out and log in still using the password I copied but all attempts to change it result in this error...unless I pick a password I've used previously. Also, I don't want service accounts (users) that are used specifically for our deployment scripts to have to change the password. My archiva installation/configuration is at /archiva/conf. I created a security.properties file there and have the following settings but it still says the user requires a password change if I attempt to log in or if I "Manage" the users, the 3 service account users show that the "Force password change" is enabled but the setting won't stick if I change it.
