Can't open Blackberry BESX admin page

I was trying to resolve an issue on our BESX 5.0.3 server where I couldn't add new Blackberry devices but managed to cause another issue in doing so - I now can no longer log into the administration page. It just returns with the error that IE cannot load the page.

The error in the log (EXCHANGE_BBAS-AS_01_20111018_0001) is below.

Any idea on how to fix? I have tired reinstalling the BESX server.

Hi,

First we should try and change the BlackBerry Administration Service Application Server port:

Stop the BlackBerry Administration Server - Application Server service.
Open the BlackBerry Server Configuration Tool from Start > Programs > BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
Select the Administration Service - High Availability tab.
Change the HTTPS Service Port value from 443 to a port that does not conflict with any other software (for example, 663).
Click Apply, and then OK.
Start the BlackBerry Administration Server Application Server service.
Access the BlackBerry Administration Service using the new port e.g. https://server.domain.com:663/webconsole/app.

if still the problem persist please check the following link to resolve the issue BlackBerry KB: 18185:

Hi all, sorry about that, here's the error from that log.

The problem came after the administration page refused to let me log in, even when I was sure the password was correct. A troubleshooting page I found online said that I should delete the keystore key in the registry and it hasn't worked since then. Reinstalling after that didn't help.

I'll have a look at what you guys have suggested - thanks!

Thank you so much, changed my BESAdmin password to not include special characters then followed your guide to fix the keystore error which then came up next.

Hi AlwaysAStudent - not sure if you check this account or not but here goes.

I seem to be locked out of our BESADmin account and I cant find how to change the password...
I read online that the password can change and in order to change it, you have to change a key in SQL MGMT 08 to be a number i.e. 4561245641526calkihnas and then it will change the password to berry... I cant get this to work either.

Can anyone help?
