Specifying the Admin Password
OpenEdge Management initializes with a default user name and password for the administrator. The default value for both the user name and the password is admin.
You must change the password on the OpenEdge Management Configuration page after you log in for the first time, and you should change it at frequent intervals thereafter. To change the password at any time other than during initial configuration, do so from the Authorized Users page. See the "Adding OpenEdge Management users as administrators or operators" section for more information.
The new password you provide on the OpenEdge Management Configuration page does not take effect until you stop and restart OpenEdge Management, by either shutting down and restarting the host machine or using the appropriate command-line interface (CLI) commands. See the "Using the command-line interface" section for more information.
To change the administrator password:
- Enter your new administrator password in the Password field of the Admin Password section:
![]()
- Confirm the new password by typing it in the Confirm password field. When you stop and restart OpenEdge Management, remember to use the new password. Note that the default user name of admin remains valid.
- Continue to the next section on the OpenEdge Management Configuration page to determine if you want to start OpenEdge Management automatically when the AdminServer starts. (You should delay clicking Submit until after reviewing and/or selecting all options on the OpenEdge Management Configuration page.)
