This article explains how to change the password for the default admin account in ADAudit Plus. Changing the default admin password is essential to maintain the security and integrity of the application.

Prerequisites  

• Ensure you have access to the ADAudit Plus web console using the default admin credentials.

• The ADAudit Plus server must be running and accessible for a successful login.

• Ensure the account being used has valid permissions and is not locked out.
  

Steps to follow  

1. Log in to the ADAudit Plus web console using the default admin account.

2. Go to Admin > General Settings > Personalize.

3. Under Change Password, enter the current password in the Current Password field.

4. Enter the new password in the New Password field and confirm it in the Confirm Password field.

5. Click Save to apply the changes.

6. You'll receive a confirmation message indicating that the password has been successfully updated.

Validation and confirmation  

• Log out of the ADAudit Plus web console.

• Attempt to log in using the new password for the default admin account.

• If login is successful, the password change has been applied correctly.

Tips  

• Use a strong password with a combination of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters.

• Do not share the admin password across multiple users. Instead, create individual technician accounts with appropriate roles.

• Document the new admin password securely, as losing access may require a manual reset.
