I have a problem, we had a server crash and had to rebuild the subsciber box, unfortunately the cluster password does not appear to be what the previous admin had recorded, How do I reset this so I can get my subscriber server back?

You can use Adminutility tool to reset the Private password phrase, this tool only runs on

the Publisher and needs to be done after hours since it stops services; here is the path

and the steps to run it.

C:\ProgramFiles\Cisco\Bin\adminutility.exe

Log into the utility as Administrator and select the very top checkbox to select all

accounts. Then go to Options and Set new password

It will ask you for the password phrase, and the tool will run, everything keeps working

fine after the tool finishes.
