Administrative sessions are used to establish and tailor schedules, associate nodes with client schedules, and the like. The administrative password employed in such work is independent of the password used by the client for its sessions with the server. (But there's nothing to keep the two passwords from being the same string.)
Your question needs to be qualified in terms of which administrator, as distinguished by names and authority levels. Typically, a TSM server has an administrator ID and password created by the person who set up the server, and which is used for its global administration, thus having System level authority. As nodes are registered, by default that action will also create node administration IDs of the same names as the nodes, with the same initial password. Thereafter, you can change the node's client password and the node's administrator password independently of each other. Changing the node administrator password thus does not impact the activities of the client.
If you are concerned about effects, you can readily perform a controlled test during quiet times, where you change the password and try a client session, being ready to quickly change it back if needed for any reason.

This is I am aware of but I want to know as all my schedules or activities on TSM works through admin client only.
I am wondering if any files to be manually updated so that my backup and activities on TSM should not stop working or come to halt.

The TSM server stores its passwords in its database, not files.

Hi experts,
I am planning to change admin password of TSM server. My TSM is running on Solaris.
Any idea about the series of files to be updated will be really helpful for me?
