Diego,
if you want to change the admin password by modifying a local file, you can store the password in plain text:
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/security/passwd.html#plain-text
For example, if you want the "admin" user to have password "s3cr3t", you can modify data/security/usergroup/default/users.xml to include:
<user enabled="true" name="admin" password="plain:s3cr3t"/>
This is insecure as it exposes the admin password to all local users with read access, but it may be suitable for automated deployments on virtualised or containerised platforms.
For general use, changing the admin password using the web interface is preferred. You can create a digest1 password on one deployment and then copy this to other deployments.
In each case you will need to reload settings or restart geoserver for the change to take effect.
Kind regards,
Ben.

Hello there,
My GeoServer is running in Web Archive mode inside of Tomcat (on Linuc
Machine).
I'm trying to change the login password. I found the the encrypted password
here:
/var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/geoserver/data/security/usergroup/default/users.xml
But I don't know how to encrypt the new password to replace it.
and here:
/var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/geoserver/data/security/config.xml
there is my current passwor (geoserver)
<rememberMeService>
<className>org.geoserver.security.rememberme.GeoServerTokenBasedRememberMeServices</className>
<key>geoserver</key>
</rememberMeService>
I tried to change it but that didn't work.
