The same thing like this http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1130164
after i tried.
I have changed the Service-Account of HP SIM (it now run with the local admin account).
Since i did this, HP SIM records thousands of "Login failed Authentication" events for the local Administrator.
and then ,my Local admin account has been disabled. SIM then can't work.(you can access to https://****:50000,but the account can't pass authentication)

Running the folowing commands should fix your problem:

mxpassword -r -x MxDBUserPassword
mxpassword -a -x MxDBUserPassword=

I have done this,But it seems doesn't work.
I can't login by any of the user that i used before.It always tell me "Sign-in Failure".

Maybe I changed to many config files and tables.

From the case beginning,What should I do if I Just want to totaly change a User.
I install SIM with Local\administrator,Use the default Settings.
For some security resons,we need to disable Local\administrator account. We create a new Local\HPSIM account,what should i do?
