In Windows you can do this by deleting a registry key, so I expect there's a preferences file somewhere in the FileMaker .app that will do the same thing, if you can find it. <br />

I've inherited a FM 8 Server(osx) and the password is unknown. &nbsp;Is there a way to reset the server password without having to reinstall the server software?<br />
Just to make sure I'm clear, this isn't a password for a database, this is the actual server software to manage databases.<br />

FileMaker Pro is a cross-platform relational database application that integrates a database engine with a graphical user interface (GUI) and security features, allowing users to modify the database by dragging new elements into layouts, screens, or forms. FileMaker evolved from a DOS application, but since 1992 has been available for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS, and can be used in a cross-platform environment.
