This article contains instructions on how to modify the administrator password in TTerm Connect. The operation may be performed at any time, however note that when installed, TTerm Connect's built in 'admin' user account uses a default password and on first logging in to the Administrator Portal you will be directed to change this default password.
It is highly recommended that the administrator account default password be modified in order to ensure the security of the system.
Perform a Password Change
To change an Administrator account password, follow these steps:
- Login to the Administrator Portal (dashboard). By default, the Administration Portal can be accessed via the server's port 8090, which is https://www.myhost.com:8090.
- Click on the username at the top right of the screen and select My preferences. See the image below for reference.
Note: When using a mobile device or a small screen device, the My preferences menu option is available from the main drop down menu.
- Navigate to Account Settings and set Change Password to yes.
- Enter your existing password and then a new password and confirm the change. Once the password change is complete click Save User Preferences.
If you are performing this operation as part of the initial login process and have been directed to change the default password you will now be returned to the dashboard.
