> #### Specifying the Admin Password

> Fathom initializes with a default user name and password for the administrator. The default value for both the user name and the password is admin.

> You must change the password on the Fathom Management Configuration page after you log in for the first time, and you should change it at frequent intervals thereafter. To change the password at any time other than during initial configuration, do so from the Authorized Users page. See the "Adding Fathom users as administrators or operators" section for more information.

> The new password you provide on the Fathom Management Configuration page does not take effect until you stop and restart Fathom, by either shutting down and restarting the host machine or using the appropriate command-line interface (CLI) commands. See the "Using the command-line interface" section for more information.

> To change the administrator password:

> 1. Enter your new administrator password in the Admin password section's Password field:

> 2. Confirm the new password by typing it in the Confirm password field. When you stop and then restart Fathom, remember to use the new password.
> Note that the default user name of admin remains valid.

> 3. Continue to the next section on the Fathom Management Configuration page to determine if you want to start Fathom automatically when the AdminServer starts.
> (You should delay clicking Submit until after reviewing and/or selecting all options on the Fathom Management Configuration page.)
