How to Reset TM1 Admin Password

TM1 Administrator Password Reset

Do you need to reset your TM1 Admin password? Have you lost your TM1 Administrator password? Well if you can’t remember your administrator password for TM1 and you use Security Mode 1, then there is a really simple solution.

Note that the steps above might take more than 2 minutes, depending on how complex your model is and how long it takes to restart!

This process will zap ALL passwords in the model.

If you are not using Security Mode 1, then you need to go to your directory administrator (say Active Directory) and have your password reset there. TM1 has nothing to do with it.

TM1 User Password Reset

If you have your Admin password and are using Security Mode 1, but need to reset your Admin or a user’s password, then simply do the following:

1. Right click on the model in Architect
2. Select Security, Clients/Groups
3. Select the User
4. Then Clients, Set Password…
5. In the little blue box the appears, enter the new password.
6. Retype the password as instructed.

Obviously if you need to reset the TM1 Admin password and you have already logged in, then you can use this method as well!
