You may need to change the up.time Admin user password as part of a regular password rotation if the password has been forgotten or if the previous administrator has left the company.
\nSince user passwords are encrypted and stored in the up.time DataStore, you will need to access the DataStore and use a SQL UPDATE statement to change the password.
\nNote:The MySQL database is the default up.time database.
\n \nChanging the Password in MySQL
\ncd <uptime_dir>/mysql/bin\n \n
where <uptime_dir> is the directory in which up.time is installed.
\nmysql -uuptime -puptime -P3308 --protocol=tcp uptime\n
UPDATE users SET password = SHA1("NEWPASSWORD") WHERE username = "admin";\n \n
where NEWPASSWORD is the updated password for the admin user in up.time.

Changing the Password in MS SQL or Oracle

WHERE username = 'admin'; \nCOMMIT;
