Forgot Navision Admin password

sharma623

Hello Everyone,

I am using Navision 2016 and NAVUserPasswrod protocol to authenticate clients. However, I lost my admin password and now cannot login as an admin. Any suggestion how can I reset my admin password. I am using MSSQL DB.

You have any other user to login to the database and reset it?

sharma623

Yes, I have another user login but need to know the process to reset the password.

Sorry, I am new to navision and will really appreciate your help

@sharma623 You need to go to Users and then navigate to Microsoft Dynamics NAV Password authentication and click on assist edit (triple dot) and then change the password for that user.

@RockWithNAV I tried that but an error was generated "You have not been granted permission to perform the current activity"

Give yourself super right.

Contact your partner, they will be able to add you as SUPER user from the SQL Backend. It is a pretty simple process, but not something you want to experiment with your self, and this is why you pay your partner anyway.

hi,
If your service is started, and you have admin rights to run Powershell on the NAV server, you can use powershell to add an admin user with SUPER. The PS commands are New-NAVServerUser and New-NAVServerUserPermission set.
