Hello Ken, I suggest you contact 4D tech support. As mentioned you need to prove ownership or authorisation from the owner. This route has worked for me in the past. HTH David Samson Manchester U.K. P.S. The recent banter about age on this list reminded me of a cute saying: "Age is a question

Thanks to all who responded! Wayne Stewart was able to wave his magic wand and make the Designer Password go away. I have now reset it. There was a comment that if I had access to the design environment via the Administrator login, an option would be to just leave things the way they were.

The problem with that approach is many fold. First if something happens to users and groups and admin becomes bad you will be stuck. If you are going to follow that path, I would create another use by duplicating administrator and use that one Regards Chuck

Ken: Chuck pointed out that you didn't have access as designer (I just skimmed the email yesterday), rather you have access "to the design environment". The empty U file is worth a try but as Thomas implies, perhaps there's no significant downside to leaving the current situation as is. I've

Ken: You might be able to remove all users and groups by logging in as designer and importing an empty users and groups file. -- Douglas von Roeder 949-910-4084 On Sun, Jan 17, 2021 at 4:24 PM Kenneth Geiger via 4D_Tech < 4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > I recently “inherited” a 4D

One more thought. If you can prove ownership, perhaps 4D cN change designer password for you Regards Chuck On Sun, Jan 17, 2021 at 10:42 PM THOMAS BENEDICT via 4D_Tech < 4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > On Jan 17, 2021, at 16:24, Kenneth Geiger via 4D_Tech < > 4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > >

I don’t think so. I think the only person who can change designer password is designer. The only option would be to recreate structured and then move forms and methods over Regards Chuck Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 17, 2021, at 7:24 PM, Kenneth Geiger via 4D_Tech >

Designer Password Question

Hi All, I recently “inherited” a 4D v12 (Windows) database. The original developer has forgotten the Designer Password. But, fortunately, he had enabled the settings to allow the Administratror to access the design environment and the customer had that password. So, I’ve been able to make the
