Resetting Passwords

Admins can reset another user's password from the Users tab:

  1. Click the Reset PW button next to the user
  2. Enter a new temporary password (or click Generate for a random one)
  3. Confirm the password in the second field
  4. Click Reset Password

The user will be required to set a new password on their next login.

Admin Self-Reset

Admins cannot reset their own password from the Users panel. To change your own password, use the password change feature from your profile.

Default Account

The application ships with a single admin account:

Change the Default Password

Always change the default admin password immediately after installation, especially if the dashboard is accessible from other machines on your network.
