BIM Server Admin Account

Anonymous — Thu, 08 Aug 2013 16:24:21 GMT

How do I reset the BIM server Admin Account? The previous person in charge of it has left our office & I don't have username OR password. I don't even know what email address was set up so the "retrieve password by email" is useless. PLEASE HELP

Mac OSX 10.6(AC13)

If you can get into the BIM Server Manger you can change the passwords to any of the users. Typically that is found on the server or on the administrators system who was managing the BIM Server. Probably would also be a good idea to export all the projects on the BIM Server during this process just in case you want to rebuild the BIM Server in the future with known credentials you will be able to put the files back on the server after you reinstall/rebuild the server.

You should go into the BIM Server Control Center on the computer where the BIM Server is installed, and open the Server Manager from there. In that case you will not need a password to get into BIM Server Manager and to manage it.
Here it is assumed that if you are a person with enough privileges to log into the server machine, then you probably also have enough privileges to manage the BIM Server. Hence no need for password on the BIM Server machine.
Then go to the User Dialog of the person and change its password. With that password you wil be able to manage the BIM Server from other machines.
