@all Does anyone know what is the db passphrase in Dentrix for Sawa Dental?

Tech B 2024-12-17 22:05

they didn't provide it initially, but if no one knows the passphrase, we can reset it for them when everyone is out of dentrix

# Reset Dentrix Database Passphrase When Unknown

## Problem
A technician needed the database passphrase for a Dentrix installation but the office had not provided it initially and was closed for contact. The passphrase was required for system access or maintenance but was unknown to both the technician and available office staff.

## Resolution
When the Dentrix database passphrase is unknown and cannot be obtained from the office:

1. Wait until all users are completely out of Dentrix
2. Reset the database passphrase using Dentrix administrative tools
3. Coordinate timing with the office to ensure no active sessions during the reset process

Note: The passphrase reset must be performed when no users are logged into Dentrix to avoid database conflicts or corruption.

Here is the link to the actual passphrase reset steps: https://wiki.dentalht.com/en/software/dentrix/How_To_Reset_The_Dentrix_Passphrase
