Resetting Websense PW

In case you get "locked out" of the super admin on websense...
  1. Stop your Websense Services (Policy Server last)
  2. Browse to Websense\bin and make a backup of your config.xml file. Place it somewhere safe.
  3. Now delete the config.xml.bak and the journal.dat.
  4. Edit your config.xml file, and remove the following:
    • Find, data name = "k2097153", and delete its contents
  5. Start your Policy Server and then the remainder of your Websense services.
  6. Open the Manager and you should be prompted for a new password.
