ArcGIS server Site admin username and password keep changing,

Question

I don’t know if I am hacked or what, I am running ArcGIS server 10.5 on windows server 2012. My server has a real domain name that can be accessed form anywhere.

The issue here is that the site admin username and password keep changing and all of my service deleted after this change! I reset it but after while (hours) the password changes automatically.

Have any one experienced this issue before?

Thank you in advance

Best,

Majdoleen

Sorry for the confusion. Right. We are from the same organization. We are under pressure due to the failure of our ArcGIS Server.

We managed to format the server, but after like two hours, the issue came back. Not sure which virus might cause to change the logins of the ArcGIS Server. Is that really easy even with virus?

This thread https://community.esri.com/message/699234-re-arcgis-server-password-reset-suddenly   was posted over the weekend.  Is this a duplicate post (i.e. same office)?  If not, there are now two sites reporting this.  But my guess it is not the software that is causing the issue.

We already contacted them, but they said it is unknown Behavior and they will report it to Esri.
