Change the default system administrator password

To help ensure the security of your Polarion system, you should change the default password of the System Administrator user account described below, and the password for the polarion user account of the integrated Subversion (SVN) repository.

The default System Administrator user account has access to all administrative functions of Polarion, including read-write access to the Subversion repository. After installing Polarion for actual production use, you should change the password on the default System Administrator account. Before doing so, consider creating another account with administrator permissions for yourself, and perhaps someone else.

To change the default administrator password:

1. Log on to the Polarion portal with the default System Administrator credentials. (username: admin, password: admin.)

2. Click My Polarion. The My Polarion page for the System Administrator account loads in the content area.

3. Click on the top right and click My Account.

4. In the My Account page click Edit.

5. Enter the new password in the New Password field, and again in the Reenter Password field.

6. If you want to continue using this account as the main system administrator account, you may wish to add your email address in the Email field, and add a description for the account in the Description field.

7. When finished editing the System Administrator profile, click Save. The password is now changed and you must use it next time you log on.
