Reset the forgotten password

In this post, I am going to explain "How will you reset your AEM password if you have forgotten your password."

The default password for administrator user admin is admin. If the password was changed to something else, to reset your password to admin you have to follow some steps which are mention below:

• Stop AEM instance.
• Place the package reset_admin_pass_to_admin.zip in <AEM Home> / crx-quickstart / install (Create it, if there isn't one). 

• Start AEM instance.
• Package should have installed. It contains /home/user/a/admin/.content.xml with rep:password set to text admin encrypted.

• Login as admin/admin.

Renditions Creation for the Image

In this post, I will explain how to create different type of renditions for the image in Adobe CQ5.

When we upload the images in the DAM, Adobe CQ5 creates the renditions of an image that includes different size of the same image. This can be helpful when we need to create thumbnails or similar views of large or high resolution images.

If we want to create the renditions according to us than we have to configure the DAM Asset workflow.

For this, We have to go this path:

http://localhost:4502/etc/workflow/models/dam/update_asset.html

At this path we will see the page like this image-

Now, Go to the edit mode and double click on the thumbnail creation step.

After click the thumbnail creation step, We will find a pop up like this:-

Now, We have to go on process tab, in the process tab of the step we can add custom rendition values. After this save the workflow.

 
Now, while uploading the image, the configured thumbnails will be created.
