What is the proper way to change the encryption password on an existing
ElevateDB Server V2.03?

I did the following and it did not work.
Stopped the server
Close EDBSRVR

Edit the INI and added the following entry:
Encryption Password=abcdefgmypasswordxyz
Saved the INI.

When I run the edbsrvr and start the server, it showed the following
message:

ElevateDB Error #100 There is an error in the metadata for the configuration
EDBConfig (The encryption password does not match the default or currenty
engine encryption password).

What is the correct procedure of changing the Encryption Password?
Thanks,
George Patena

That is correct.  You can't just change the encryption password on an
existing configuration.  Instead, you need to change the password, erase the
existing configuration file (edbconfig.edbcfg) and then recreate your
configuration information (databases, users, roles, and jobs) in a new
configuration file that is created using the new encryption password.
You're also going to need to recreate any tables that were marked as
encrypted (.edbtbl and .edbidx, and, optionally, .edbblb and .edbpbl files).

OK.  Good that I am just starting configuring the server.  So it is good to
know that if encryption is required, the first task is to change the default
password.
