Tableau Server on Windows Help

Use the tsm reset command to clear the initial admin user so that you can enter a new one. After you run tsm reset you must rerun the tabcmd initialuser command to create a new initial admin. The new name cannot be the same username as the previous admin user.

If your organization is using Active Directory or LDAP for the Tableau identity store, then the account and password you specify must match an account in the directory.
