Hi Ryan,

Do you mean your password on the Cognoise site? If so, click on the Profile link at the top of this page and choose Account Settings. You can change your password in there.

If you mean the password in Cognos 8 BI, this is defined in an external authentication provider which your Cognos instance is configured to interface with. Often this can be MS Active Directory or a corporate LDAP database. Changing your password is handled within this external environment. You need to figure out what authentication provider your Cognos instance is using, then find out how to change your password in that provider.

Cheers!

MF.

HI MGFG,

I was referring to the Cognos BI.

Thanks a lot for your support, I will contact our administrators and they can reset it from their end.

Once again, thanks.
