Administrator Functions
The administrator account is critical for some app functions.
Choose an administrator password you can remember, and do
not lose the password. The administrator password cannot be
recovered without clearing all app data, which causes all
recorded Garmin eLog data to be deleted.
You must use the administrator account to perform some
Garmin eLog app functions, including adding driver profiles,
editing driver profiles, and resetting driver passwords. The
administrator account and password are created during the
initial Garmin eLog app setup. If the app is administered by a
company, drivers may not have access to the administrator
functions.
