ProcedureTo Change the Superuser Password

  3. Click the Preferences tab.

  4. Click the Control Superuser Access link.

    Caution – Caution –

    Because the admpw file can be edited, the server computer must be kept in a secure place and access to its file system must be restricted.

    On UNIX and Linux systems, consider changing file ownership so that the file is writable only by root or whatever system user runs the Administration Server daemon. On Windows systems, restrict file ownership to the user account used by the Administration Server.
