Help! I forgot the TIPADMIN Password!

To fix this issue you will need to have access to the console using the same OS account used to install TIP. 

• On the system open a console or ssh session using the correct OS account.
• Change Directory to <TIP HOME>/bin/
  • cd /opt/IBM/tivoli/tipv2/bin
• Then run wsadmin: ./wsadmin –conntype none –profileName TIPProfile
• That will bring up a prompt where you can run commands against TIP.  Run the following: $AdminTask changeFileRegistryAccountPassword {-userId <USER_ID> -password <NEW_PASSWORD>}
  • $AdminTask changeFileRegistryAccountPassword {-userId tipadmin -password adminpass}
• Save the changes with the following:
  • $AdminConfig save
  • exit
• Restart TIP and login using the new password.
