GroupWise Mobile Server, a Linux edition
Situation
For whatever possible reasons you are unable to authenticate in a WebAdmin page (http:///admin ) using admin account.
Resolution
Here are steps to delete any existing and recreate new admin account in the ASA database:
1. Start a terminal window and change to /etc/init.d, then stop all services in following order:
./mobilesuite stop
./securegateway stop
./asadb stop
2. Once all is stopped, you can start ASA DB service:
./asadb start
3. Now change to /opt/ims/db/linux/db/bin directory and from there run following command
. ./asa_config.sh (make sure that you type it correctly/asa_config.sh)
4. Next from the same directory start SQL database tool by:
dbisqlc (note, no ./dbisqlc)
./mobilesuite stop
./securegateway stop
./asadb stop

. ./asa_config.sh (make sure that you type it correctly
4. Next from the same directory start SQL database tool by:
dbisqlc (note, no ./dbisqlc)
this opens a new environment - a red dos-box within the terminal window. Inside this tool do not use arrows / tabs but mouse !
5. Login page of the tools -> use user dba and password pylonanywhere. If you did not do any typos you shall see a message that you are connected to the database. Now type following:
delete from IMSERVERCONFIG;
then hit F9 to execute the command.

delete from IMADMINISTRATOR;

insert into IMADMINISTRATOR values(1,'admin','Initial administrator',2,-1,0,NOW(),NULL,0);

After it comes back you can access the WebAdmin tool from a local Linux box via http://localhost/admin. Use admin as account, no password. You shall be now successful to login with newly created admin account. From here you can continue configuring a GMS server and change / assign a password for the admin account.
