Resetting the Local Admin Password​

danger

The only way to reset the Local Admin password is by resetting your installation entirely.

There is only one way to reset your local admin password, and that is to reset your Exopen Report add-in completely. Before doing so, ensure that you have your ExoSystem connection string ready to reconfigure the add-in. Additionally, unregister your license before proceeding with the reset.

Steps to Reset​

  • If you are using Exopen Report with a system database, ensure you have your connection string ready to reconfigure the add-in.
  • Unregister your license.
  • Close Excel.
  • Navigate to the folder _C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Exopen Systems\ExOpen Report_ in File Explorer.
  • Delete all files in that folder.
  • Reconfigure the add-in by following the instructions in the installation manual.
