Forgot PDM Admin password

How do you reset the PDM Admin password if you forgot, or lost the current password?

This article shows how to reset the admin user password in PDM. Obviously, you need access to the archive server.

Hi Justin,
The article Amen shared is the exact answer you are needing. Keep in mind, PDM was designed to support multiple vaults so administrators can manage all vault admin accounts from one window using the PDM Archive Server Configuration Tool mentioned in the article so if you have multiple vaults, please consider changing the admin password using the default settings rather than vault specific properties.

I would have to have PDM on my current workstation to confirm but I believe there is also a way through registry if you are locked out of PDM Archive Server.
