Changing the CQ5 (AEM) Admin Password via Curl

November 25, 2014 0 By Tad Reeves

Just so I don’t forget – a working curl command for changing the admin password is:

 curl -u admin:theOldPassword -Fplain=theNewPassword -Fverify=theNewPassword -Fold=theOldPassword -FPath=/home/users/a/admin http://localhost:8880/crx/explorer/ui/setpassword.jsp
