After you set the administrative (xcadmin) user ID and password, store the information in a reliable location. You can configure email delivery to enable the ability for password resets in the user interface.
The xcadmin user ID and password are necessary to log on to the appliance so put them in a secure location after you change them. If you lose them, and you have no means to recover them, then the appliance must be returned to IBM® for remanufacturing
You can edit the password for xcadmin in the user interface or in the command line interface for the appliance.
To change the password in the user interface, edit the user. See Managing users for more information.
To change the password in the command line interface for the appliance, you can use the user password command. See Initializing and configuring IBM WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance for more information.
