JBoss adds user to wrong realm found in property files

Question

I had JBoss installed a while ago so I eventually forgot the password and username used for managing it (I mean the management console on port 9990).

I tried to reset the password by running the add-user.sh script but messed it up and now every user I add is created in the admin realm:

Enter the details of the new user to add.
Using realm 'admin' as discovered from the existing property files.

I do not need this realm, I just need the admin user to manage JBoss (presumably, this is the Management realm).

I tried to do the following:

1. Removed the admin line from mgmt-users.properties and mgmt-groups.properties in the standalone/configuration and domain/configuration
2. Tried to find the 'admin' realm in standalone.xml and standalone-full.xml but to no avail.

My question is how to create/reset the password of admin in the Management at last?

Also, where can I find the existing property files that JBoss mentions and override it to make it use the Management realm instead?

Answer 1

Had to reinstall JBoss and the problem gone.
