We have the server version of Confluence and the admin account is not accessible. Is there anyway to create another admin so that we can edit accounts and add new users?

Hi Rob,

Check out this guide on how to Restore Passwords to Recover Admin User Rights by Atlassian. If you're using Confluence 6.5.0 or earlier, it is necessary to use the database method. Cheers!
