I was trying to configure my WMQ. queue manager was running until i changed the password of my musr_mqadmin account. Now it the local queue manager that i created cannot be start any more

The pop up says "The MQ service for installation "installation1" must be running"

While i tried to reset the musr_mqadmin account, it says "mq configuration an error while validating the security credentials "

I am really stuck and helpless. Please kindly advise.

MQ Service runs under MUSR_MQADMIN account. You will need to provide the same password for MQ Service also. Go to Administrative Tools/Services console. Select IBM WebSphere MQ service and open the properties by double clicking on the service. On the Log On tab provide the new password and OK to close the dialog and start the service.

  • Hi, while trying to reset it. i might have accidently deleted the musr_mqadmin account. is there anyway i can get it back? – user2760642 May 15 '15 at 06:10
  • Although I have not tried this: you can try recreating MUSR_MQADMIN user again and add the user to mqm group. – Shashi May 15 '15 at 06:16

    Windows uses unique SID values. Simply recreating MUSR_MQADMIN won't change the SID that owns the installation and operational files. Best thing at this point is to uninstall MQ and start over. – T.Rob May 15 '15 at 07:35
