  When you installed Lotus Domino, if you provided a password for the server.id, you must remove the password. Or, if you have a copy of the server.id file without a password saved locally, you can replace the server.id in the data directory of the server before you set up the server. To remove a password from a server.id, log in to the Lotus Notes client using the server.id. Then choose – File – Security – User Security and reset the password to be empty.
