Console connection problem - "IEMAdmin": Failed log in. (Data Connection)

Hello, i have an old server that i cant connect on console anymore, i receive incorrect credentials message.
The strange thing is that when i create a new data source on ILMT with same password i have no problem.
On server audit log, the api connections shows sucess and the console failed.

has anyone seen this? thanks

See the knowledge center article below. You can run the besadmin tool from the command line to create another console operator. That will at least get you in the console where you can start looking at the other account, try a password change,etc. The command line should work for older servers too.
