Hey Guys, for Dental Studio of Westfield, Dentrix is asking for the Passphrase on one of the computers, I tried with the ones in Bitrix and D3ntal$$P@ss but no luck, any other one I could try?

Try the pass that is used for domain admin or NAS

Tech C 2024-12-10 14:56

if its not ours, and noone at the office knows it, we can only reset it.

Tech A 2024-12-10 17:58

Done, passphrase updated on Bitrix as well

# Reset Dentrix Passphrase When Standard Passwords Fail

## Problem
Dentrix prompted for a passphrase on one workstation at a client office. The standard passwords stored in Bitrix and the common D3ntal$$P@ss credential did not work. The office staff did not know the correct passphrase.

## Resolution
1. Try alternative passwords that may have been used during setup:
   - Domain administrator password
   - NAS access password
   - Other system-level credentials from the environment

2. If no existing passwords work and the office cannot provide the correct passphrase, reset the Dentrix passphrase through the standard reset procedure.

3. Update the password management system (Bitrix) with the new passphrase for future reference.
