Re: How do I reset rootdn password?

Only if you move the slapd.d dir will the slapd.conf file be used.

Read the admin guide, it's worth it.

There is no slapd.conf file at this point. So, I did try to use
ldapmodify, however authentication is required to make this running and
this is the problem I am having, I don't have the rootpw.

Can I go back to slapd.conf and put a new password there and restart the
daemon? Will it modify the config database?

TIA
