Summary:
This article describes how to create a new bootstrap file for Spotfire Server in an event you do not remember the existing bootstrap password.

Details:
The bootstrap file is used by the Spotfire Server application to connect to the Spotfire Server's database. This file contains encrypted information and is protected by a password which is required when logging into the configuration tool or while making any configuration changes through the command line. 

Note. it's possible to reset this password using instructions in this article - How to reset Spotfire Configuration Tool password.

3). Click Cancel on the Password dialogue. 
 
4). This will take you to Configuration consoles' "System Status" tab.
 
5). Click on the 'Create new bootstrap file' link.
 
6). Enter the valid Spotfire server database, Database Name(SQL) or SID (ORCL), port number and user credentials to create a new bootstrap file. NOTE: If prompted, overwrite the existing bootstrap file.

Solution 2: "Using configuration commands":

1). Login into the Spotfire server machine and launch a terminal window/command prompt.

2). Browse to the <installation dir>\tomcat\spotfire-bin directory.

3). Run the following command to create a new bootstrap file.
