Changing Administrator Credentials

The administrator's password is set during account creation. You can always change the password for your own account. Depending on privileges, you may be authorized to change the password of another administrator as well.

Using the Service Web UI

  1. Open the navigation menu and click Users.

  2. Click the administrator account for which you want to change the password. The user detail page is displayed.

    Alternatively, to display your own user detail page, click your name in the top-right corner of the page and select My Profile.

  3. Click Change Password to open the Change Password window.

  4. Enter the new account password. Enter it a second time for confirmation. Click Save Changes to apply the new password.

Using the Service CLI

  1. Display the list of administrator accounts. Copy the ID of the account for which you want to change the password.
