Resetting LDAP & MySQL Passwords

By far, one of the most common problems in getting a service started is an incorrect password.

Resetting the LDAP Password

Try running zmcontrol stop then ps auxww | grep slapd

Verify that ldap is stopped - if it's not, kill it by hand and restart.

If it still doesn't work

try shutting ldap down, then reset the password (both for root and zimbra) via:

zmldappasswd --root newpass

zmldappasswd newpass

Make sure you use the same password for both!
