1. Stop Magnolia CMS.
2. Copy the following JSP script and save it to your docroot folder, for example <apache-tomcat>/webapps/magnoliaAuthor/docroot/recovery-script.jsp.

   Code Block
   xml xml
   <%@ page contentType="text/plain" %> <%@ page import="info.magnolia.importexport.BootstrapUtil"%> <%@ page import="info.magnolia.context.*"%> <%@ page import="info.magnolia.cms.util.ContentUtil"%> <%@ page import="info.magnolia.cms.core.HierarchyManager"%> <%@ page import="javax.jcr.Node"%> <%@ page import="javax.jcr.ImportUUIDBehavior"%> <% info.magnolia.context.MgnlContext.setInstance(new info.magnolia.context.SingleJCRSessionSystemContext()); try{ BootstrapUtil.bootstrap(new String[]{"/mgnl-bootstrap/core/users.system.superuser.xml"}, ImportUUIDBehavior.IMPORT_UUID_COLLISION_REMOVE_EXISTING); HierarchyManager hm = MgnlContext.getHierarchyManager("users"); hm.save(); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e); } System.out.println("finished"); %>

3. Open <apache-tomcat>/webapps/magnoliaAuthor/WEB-INF/web.xml in a text editor.
4. Add the following servlet mapping after the <distributable/> node.

   Code Block
   xml xml
   <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/docroot/recovery-script.jsp</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>

5. Comment out the <filter> and <filter-mapping> sections.

   Code Block
   xml xml
   <!-- filter> <display-name>Magnolia global filters</display-name> <filter-name>magnoliaFilterChain</filter-name> <filter-class>info.magnolia.cms.filters.MgnlMainFilter</filter-class> </filter> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>magnoliaFilterChain</filter-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher> <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher> <dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher> <dispatcher>ERROR</dispatcher> </filter-mapping -->

6. Save the web.xml file.
