Teamwork crash - Cannot sign-in

[Anonymous]

ArchiCAD crashed in mid-operation while signed into a .plp project. When I attempt to sign back in I get a message stating:

'Bob Sacamano' has signed in with exclusive access. Only Viewers and the Administrator can sign in.

I've perused previous inquiries to this dilemma and found no answer. For instance there is no .lck file anywhere on my local drive or the server to be deleted. Help is out there?

Cannot sign in as Admin The password is unknown or was never assigned. I wish were that easy. Bob Sacamano is fictional to save the actual individuals name from public disgrace in light of this disastrous event.

the admin password HAS to be assigned. that you or someone in your organisation don't know it is bad management. try the usual suspects: "password"; "1234"; "admin"; the name of your firm, etc...

what i'm trying to get at is whether the person with exclusive access is you or another individual working on the file. if it's someone else you can open their PLC file and sort things out from there. the point is: the 'who' is important when resolving teamwork issues. changing the names to protect the innocent is not helping figure it out . . .

Got it! Had the correct pass-phrase the whole time just neglected to alter the Administrator's name.

Thanks for the help!
