While there may be no direct method via the application to recover or change the administrative password if you forget it, there is a very easy way to change it to something new using a hash calculator and small change in the database. No need to send mdb file to support, simply follow this procedure.

1) Use a hash MD5 generator such as the one at http://fileformat.info/tool/hash.htm (this example uses it)
2) For the String Hash enter a new admin password you want such as "qwerty" without quotes. Press the "Hash" button to generate the results. Look below for the MD5 result. This is what you need to copy. It's 32 characters long.
3) Next, find *.mdb file (e.g. Vista... C:\ProgramData\Time Clock MTS\Database)
4) Open timeclock.mdb with Microsoft Access or whatever and navigate to table called "tblSettings"
5) Look for "strAdministratorPassword" and below will be the encrypted MD5 password. This is what we'll change. Paste the MD5 string you generated and copied from the hash site and replace the previous "strAdministratorPassword" data.
6) Save, close, wala! Open Time Clock MTS and login to admin section via new password you made (i.e. "qwerty")

Cheers!
Dave
