Hi,You will need to remove the password from the ID file.
In your Notes client, switch IDs to the server ID, after entering the password go to File - Security - User Security. Click the Change password button, type in the old password but leave the new password fields blank.
This will remove the password from the ID file.

Thank you Andrew, before we need to remove the password security set on the id file, this will allow us to remove the password, this can be done by recertification, I have just tested this myself…

I have managed to resolve this myself…FYI
To remove the password from Server Id file for the exisiting server, we need to recertify them first and then set the password security to ZERO, confirm recertification with cert.id. We now need to open the id file properties and then click on Change Password and there is an option NO PASSWORD, we need to confirm the change. This will remove the password from the id file. We then need to put the server id file in the data folder to make server start without prompting for the password.
