+There are three methods to reinstate access for a revoked User:

+  * Reset Password via Command line: If you have administrative rights to the server running the [[cli:tmss10passwordresetdb|Reset Password.bat]] file located in the TapeTrack install directory TapeTrack\TapeTrack Framework Server\scripts\  This file will unconditionally, provided you have correct access rights, reset the specified [[object:user|User-ID]]. \\ {{cli:cli_reset_password_bat.png}}
+===== Connection to Server failed =====
+Failed connection to server can be caused by sever issues:
+  * Server is not running
+  * Firewall blocking transmission between the client and server components

-Having a user with tapemaster rights reset your password in [[desktop:master|TapeMaster]] (even if using Windows AD) will reinstate TapeTrack access.  Alternatively, if you have administrative rights to the server you can run the **Reset Password.bat** file located in the TapeTrack install directory TapeTrack\TapeTrack Framework Server\scripts\  This file will unconditionally, provided you have correct access rights, reset the specified user ID.
