How to Reset the Admin Password in BI Connector

Modified on Sun, 18 May at 10:59 PM

Whether your BI Connector environment supports multiple users or has only a single admin user, the password reset process varies. Please follow the instructions below based on your setup.


Forgot Password – Multi-Admin User Environment

If you're in a Multi-Admin user environment and have forgotten your password, another admin can reset it for you by following these steps:

  1. Log in to BI Connector using another admin account.

  2. Navigate to User Management from the main menu.

  3. Locate the user whose password needs to be reset.

  4. Click the Actions menu (⋮) next to the user's name.

  5. Select Reset Password from the dropdown.



  1. Enter a new password for the user.



  1. Click Save to update the credentials.

You should now be able to log in with your updated password.


Reset Admin Password – Single Admin User

If you're in a single-admin setup and are locked out, follow the steps below to reset the password via configuration:

Step 1: Stop the BI Connector Service

Before making changes, stop the BI Connector service to avoid configuration conflicts.

Step 2: Modify the Configuration File

  1. Open the bip-connector.yml file located in

             C:\ProgramData\Guidanz\BI Connector\config


  1. Temporarily add the following lines to the YAML file:


            defaultUsername: 'AdminEmail'
            
defaultPassword: 'NewPassword'


Step 3: Restart the Service

Restart the BI Connector service. You should now be able to log in with the new credentials.

Step 4: Clean Up

Once login is successful:

  1. Remove the defaultUsername and defaultPassword entries from bip-connector.yml.

  2. Restart the BI Connector service again to finalize the changes.
