What is the default administrator password?

There is no default administrator password. The administrator password is set when the up.time monitoring station is started for the first time. If you forget the administrator password, you will have to change it by accessing the DataStore.

To change the administrator password, follow these steps:

Note: The procedure below applies to a MySQL DataStore. If you are using SQL Server or Oracle, you will need to substitute the appropriate database commands.

1. At the command prompt, enter the following command to change to to the database directory:

   cd <uptime_dir>/mysql/bin

   Where <uptime_dir> is the directory in which up.time is installed.

2. Enter the following commands to connect to the database:

   mysql -uuptime -puptime -P3308 --protocol=tcp uptime_v4

3. At the MySQL prompt, enter the following commands to change the administrator password:

   update users set password = "changeme" where username = "admin";

4. Type the following command to log out of MySQL:

   exit;

By specifying changeme as the new password, you will be prompted to change the password the next time you try to login to up.time.
