Can't log into the admin account

I’ve tried to install OpenFire a few times. No luck. Here’s what I have.

Ubuntu 8.04 server
Java6
OpenFire 3.6.4

I installed it with a MySQL back end. The DB gets created and everything seems fine. When I try to log into the admin account it says user name or password is wrong. What’s going on here?

One potential fix is adding this to your configuration:

admin

Restarting the server can also work (assuming you have not tried that already)

I had the same issue, and this worked for me

I’m running Openfire 3.6.4 on Windows XP.

Sweet! This fixed it. I can log into the admin interface. I wonder why the setup tool doesn’t add that by default. anyway, it works, I’m happy.
