Changing the Orchid Core VMS Administrator Password

You may change the password for the default Administrator account any time after installation. You can do this in Orchid Core VMS through the Users menu (as described in the Orchid Core VMS Administrator Guide), or you can change it by modifying the Orchid Core VMS properties file (as described below).

*In order to perform this change, you need to be signed in as an Administrator.

1. Open the Orchid Core VMS properties file. (If you need extra help, refer back to the How to Edit a Configuration File section that corresponds to the operating system you are using.)
2. Change the orchid.admin.password property to implement a new setting.

3. Save and close the file.
4. After you update the Orchid Core VMS properties file, you must restart the Orchid Core VMS services. (If you need extra help, refer back to the How to Manage the Orchid Core VMS Services section that corresponds to the operating system you are using.)
5. Once the restart is complete, you can sign into Orchid Core VMS.
