Reset administrator password

If the administrator's password is lost - that is, no-one remembers it in your organization -, you can use the Deployment tool to reset it.

Do not use this to change the administrator’s password. Do this only if you cannot access the server because you forgot the password.

This password belongs to memoQ TMS only: This is the password of the main administrator of memoQ TMS. If you reset the password here, that will not change any passwords in Windows on the server computer or elsewhere.

When you do this, memoQ TMS will already be installed on the server computer.

  1. Log in to the memoQ TMS computer through Remote Desktop.

  2. Open the Start screen or the Start menu: Press the Windows key.

  3. Type memoQ, and wait for the results to appear.
