Resetting LDAP & MySQL Passwords
One of the most common problems with installing and starting a service is an incorrect LDAP or MySQL password.
Resetting the LDAP Password
First, we need to make sure that Zimbra is stopped.
Try running:
> su zimbra
> zmcontrol stop
Just to be safe, you can make sure that all Zimbra services are stopped:
> ps auxww | grep zimbra
> ps auxww | grep slapd
Kill any left over processes.
Now, we can reset the passwords:
First the root(note: these are run as user zimbra)
> zmldappasswd --root newpass
Next the zimbra:
> zmldappasswd newpass
Make sure you use the same password for both!

root account
Set newpassword to your desired password. Run as user zimbra:
> zmmypasswd --root newpassword
zimbra account
> zmmypasswd newpasswd
Resetting Logger Database Passwords
In the event you have lost your logger password, or it has otherwise become out of sync after an upgrade, you can reset it. Keep in mind that the logger is not a required component to have running.
root account
Set newpassword to your desired password. Run as user zimbra:
> zmmylogpasswd --root newpassword
zimbra account
> zmmylogpasswd newpasswd
