Change the default ADSelfService Plus admin password to improve security

Description

By default, ADSelfService Plus has default admin account. This account has all the privileges and access to the ADSelfService Plus admin console. The default admin account uses the word admin as the username and the password. It is highly recommended that you change the default admin account's password immediately after deployment. As this account has Super Administrator privileges, we recommend that you set complex passwords.

Resolution

Steps to change the default admin password:

  • Open ADSelfService Plus.
  • Navigate to Admin → Customize → Personalize → Change Password.
  • Enter admin in the Old Password field. Enter a new and secure password in the New Password field and confirm the same.
  • Click Save.
