Where to Find the Mathpass File

In your respective operating system, please open your mathpass file using a basic text editor.

Windows

The mathpass file is at one of the three following locations:

  • C:\ProgramData\Mathematica\Licensing\mathpass
  • C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mathematica\Licensing\mathpass
  • C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\Configuration\Licensing\mathpass

where <user> is your username on the computer.

You may need to adjust a setting to show hidden files.

Mac

The mathpass file is located at one of the following locations:

  • /Library/Mathematica/Licensing/mathpass
  • ~/Library/Mathematica/Licensing/mathpass

These files may be hidden on your computer. To navigate to a hidden folder, open the Finder application. Press Command + Shift + G to open a file search dialog and enter “~/Library/Mathematica/”. Finder opens the hidden folder.

Linux

The mathpass file is located at one of the following locations:

  • /usr/share/Mathematica/Licensing/mathpass
  • ~/.Mathematica/Licensing/mathpass
  • /usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/Configuration/Licensing/mathpass

On Linux you may need to show hidden files using Control + H.
