TIBCO® Enterprise Administrator 2.4.2

# Change Password

Before you begin

Following are the constraints on creating a password:

- The length of the password must be between 1 and 128 characters.
- You cannot reuse the past 5 passwords.
- Your account gets locked after 10 failed attempts. The `admin` account is the only exception to this rule, but the `admin` account experiences a lag of 1 second on every login after 10 failed attempts.
- You cannot start a password with "`OBF:`" ("O", "B", and "F" written in uppercase followed by a colon).
- You must reset a password after a lockout because it cannot be changed.

Procedure
1. Click and select Change Password.
   The Change Password pane is displayed.
2. Specify Current Password, New Password, and Confirm New Password.
3. Click Finish.

## What to do if you forget the super user password?

If you changed the super user password, but cannot recollect it, delete the <TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME>\tibco\cfgmgmt\tea\data folder. Restart TIBCO Enterprise Administrator with a fresh data folder. The user name and password is now reset to admin/admin.
Warning: Deleting the data folder might result in losing all the agent configurations and LDAP integration.
