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 accessing 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 for the administrator role.

Note: After you register UC Monitor as a CA Performance Center data source, 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 also use this procedure to change the passwords for the user accounts you define for your UC Monitor system.
