How to change the initial password of Alfresco user 'admin'

alexr

Can anybody tell me how to change the initial password of the Alfresco user 'admin'.

I tried the following on a Windows-Tomcat PR6 bundle installation on Windows
XP:

- Stopped browser sessions
- Stopped Alfresco (i.e. Tomcat and MySQL)

- Edit the web-client-config.xml file and changed the entry
<admin>
<initial-password>blabla</initial-password>
</admin>

- saved the file.
- Restart Alfresco
- Opened browser with Alfresco url
- Tried to login as admin with the changed password (no success) :?
- Tried to login with the inital admin password (success). :?

Kind Regards,

Alex

Hello,

The initial password is only set once for the administrator, you cannot change it after the system has been bootstraped for the first time. At the moment, you will need to reset your database before the initial password config change will be picked up - this is why it's called "initial" password.

Cheers,

Kevin

Okay thanks kevin, that make sense.

Let me rephrase it. What is the scenario for changing the "current" password for the Alfresco user 'admin'. Because in the User Properties of the Edit User Wizard in the webclient these fields are greyed-out (not editable).

Kind regards,

Alex

That functionality is not yet complete for the preview release.

FYI Change User Password functionality has been added to the next release, should be available in the next 24 hours.

Thanks,

Under Alfresco 3.3, the admin password must be changed by selecting the "user profile" icon in the top bar, immediately to the right of the "administration console" button, then clicking "change password."

Please try not to "bump" 5 year old threads; they're very unlikely to be relevant to the current product.
