Reset admin password in SJSWS 7 update 1?

I have root access to my server and I want to reset / rescue the password for administrator console. I've searched forums here and it looks like every new version of Sun Java System Web Server brings something new to this technique. iPlanet means don't work with WS 6.1 and WS 6.1 means don't work with 7.0. So how do I do this in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0? Actually, I use 7.0 update 1 Technology Preview but this should make no difference.

Thanks in advance.

Currently this is not possible in WS 7.0 or 7.0u1.

There is already a bug raised for it and it is getting fixed for WS 7.0u2.

For now, you can try an elaborate workaround, as follows:

1. Install WS 7.0u1 in a separate location. Note down the admin password provided to the installer.

2. Once the installation is complete copy the file named keyfile

in newinstall_location/admin-server/config/

to oldinstalllocation/admin-server/config

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is only a temporary workaround.
