Changing the Administrator account password

An Administrator account with superuser privileges can log into the system without external services. The password of that account remains valid for one year. When the administrator tries to log in to the application web interface with an expired password, a password change prompt is displayed. Authentication with the Administrator account becomes available only when the password is changed.

To change the password of the Administrator account:

1. In the application web interface window, select the Settings section, Application access subsection.
2. Go to the Local administrator section.
3. In the Old password field, enter the current password of the Administrator account.

   This password is initially configured during the installation of the application.

4. In the New password field, enter the new password that satisfies the password requirements.

   The password requirements are listed under the field.

   Reusing the password is not allowed. Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway matches the new password against the last 24 passwords. An error is displayed if a full match with one of the previously used passwords is discovered.

5. In the Confirm password field, enter the new password again.
6. Click Save.

The password is changed.
