Sitecore – howtos and useful links
Sitecore Content Delivery Role:
On this page you will find all related to howto configure the servers:
https://doc.sitecore.net/sitecore_experience_platform/82/setting_up_and_maintaining/xdb
This page has a summary about the scalability options. It is useful to understand why we split Sitecore into CM and CD:
https://doc.sitecore.net/sitecore_experience_platform/82/setting_up_and_maintaining/xdb/platform/scalability_options
Here is the full explanation about how to configure a CA server:
https://doc.sitecore.net/sitecore_experience_platform/82/setting_up_and_maintaining/xdb/configuring_servers/configure_a_content_management_server
Here is the full explanation of how to configure a CD server. It’s quite complex:
https://doc.sitecore.net/sitecore_experience_platform/82/setting_up_and_maintaining/xdb/configuring_servers/configure_a_content_delivery_server
So, if you don’t want to spend several days applying all configuration manually, this is the solution:
https://github.com/sitecore/sitecore-configuration-roles
In fact, this easy way works so well, that Sitecore took it and implement it on SC9 as an out-of-the-box feature. You can see it in the official SC9 documentation:
https://doc.sitecore.net/developers/server-role-configuration-reference/core-roles/content-delivery.html
Sitecore + Solr in cluster:
This is the official documentation that Sitecore provides:
https://doc.sitecore.net/sitecore_experience_platform/setting_up_and_maintaining/search_and_indexing/walkthrough_setting_up_solr
This blog explains it in a detailed way (disclaimer: I don’t have Solr skills to check this blog):
Sitecore on Solr Cloud: Part 2 – Setting up Zookeeper and Solr
Sitecore on Solr Cloud: Part 3 – Creating Your Sitecore Collection
Here is another blogs:

How to reset Sitecore admin password
Switch to your core database and execute the SQL below to reset the password to b:
UPDATE [aspnet_Membership] SET Password=’qOvF8m8F2IcWMvfOBjJYHmfLABc=’

Alternatively navigate to /sitecore/admin/unlock_admin.aspx and click Unlock Administrator. For this to work, you must first “unlock” the functionality. Open up the .aspx file and modify the following code:
// TODO: to enable the page, set enableUnlockButton = true;
private bool enableUnlockButton = false;
