- Go to Windows Start menu and search for TIBCO Spotfire Analyst(Show login dialog)
Option 2 via command line

Note :The above file location is default Analyst file install location and will vary for portable client. It may also be present in the user's AppData folder, like C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\TIBCO\Spotfire\12.0. If there have been upgrades, the .exe may be located in the folder of an earlier version as well.
Option 3
If Option 1 or 2 do not work, then it is also possible to manually delete the locally stored LoginInformation.xml file found in the "Settings" folder which is located in the user's AppData location. For example, C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\TIBCO\Spotfire\12.0\Settings. Important: Please note this will remove ALL remembered log in information and managed servers. After removing or renaming that file, relaunch the Analyst client to have the login dialog displayed again.
