To do this you will need the HP Support Pack installed.
Create an XML file in x:\Program Files\hp\hponcfg where x:\ is your local system drive (usually c:\)
Save it as change_password.xml and enter the following (replacing “YOURNEWPASSWORDHERE” with your new password):
<ribcl VERSION="2.0">
<login USER_LOGIN="Administrator" PASSWORD="boguspassword">
<user_INFO MODE="write">
<mod_USER USER_LOGIN="Administrator">
<password value="YOURNEWPASSWORDHERE"/>
</mod_USER>
</user_INFO>
</login>
</ribcl>
Now open a command prompt to “x:\Program Files\hp\hponcfg” and run:
HPONCFG.exe /f change_password.xml
Wait 60 seconds and it should all be done.

ISA2K4/SP2 will create a new 400mb file, Windir\Debug\ISALOG.BIN, and a second, new 400mb file, ISALOG.BAK, on the C: drive.
This file’s purpose is for troubleshooting by MSSupport
in the event of problems with ISA 2004.
You can get rid of this by going to HKLM/Software/Microsoft/ISATracing and
setting the BootTracing parameter to 0 (zero). Then reboot and delete both
ISALOG.BIN and ISALOG.BAK.
You can prevent the creation of these files by adding the reg key and value before installing SP2.

Follow the steps below to change the location of the sem5.db database file for Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM):
Go to services.msc
Stop the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager Service

Go to HKey_Local_Machine\system\CurrentControlSet\Services\ASANYs\Parameters\ click on the Parameters option in the right hand side column and change the path of the sem5.db database file to the new location as New Drive:\Folder name
Restart the Symantec Embedded Database Service from services.msc

Click on Data Sources (ODBC)
Click on System DSN tab
Click on Configure button
Highlight the database tab and replace the path for the sem5.db file and ensure connectivity by clicking on Test Connection
Go to Management Server configuration Wizard and perform the server reconfiguration
If you need to move it to another drive:
Follow the above steps, you’d copy the existing “content” directory (let’s say you copy it over to D:\SEP_Content) and then create a new empty content directory in the old spot.
Then just run the command:
junction ”c:\program files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Inetpub\content” d:\sep_content
