‎Reset Tableau server administrator account

To reset the administrator account, get access to where the Tableau server is running:

1. Clear the existing admin user using tsm reset.

2. Run the tabcmd initialuser command:

   tabcmd initialuser --username "admin" --password "password" --server http://localhost --no-certcheck

   tabcmd initialuser --username "admin" --password "password" --friendly "Tableau Admin" --server http://localhost

To prompt for the password in the shell, do not include the --password parameter in the command, for example:

tabcmd initialuser --username "admin" --server http://localhost
