Configuring the Management Console › Change the Default Password and User Name

Change the Default Password and User Name

UC Monitor security features prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to your network data, SNMP community information, and sensitive records. But your system is only as secure as your own practices. To help secure your system, change the default user name and password associated with the administrator role.

Note: After you register UC Monitor as a data source for CA Performance Center, you cannot use the management console to change the password. Use CA Performance Center for this task.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Administration, Security, Users in the navigation bar.

   The User List opens.

2. Select the default administrator, admin.
3. Click Edit.

   The User Properties page opens.

4. Type a new password in the Password and Confirm Password fields.
5. Click Save.

Tip: You can use this procedure to change the passwords assigned to the user accounts you define for your UC Monitor system.
