Default Password

Default Password

For security reasons, TLE-BU does not use a common default password. The password for the initial 'Admin' user is created when the program is installed and is displayed at the installation summary page. It is also stored in the file 'install.summary' which is created in the directory that you installed TLE-BU in.

• Sample 'install.summary' file (installed with the command './install -u digimer -g digimer'):

Installation of TLE-BU is done! Summary:

If you are not able to find this file (ie: it was deleted), you can use the command-line tool 'reset_password'. This tool is in the 'tools' directory under the TLE-BU installation directory. By default, this is '/usr/share/tle-bu/tools'. To use it to reset the 'Admin' user's password, do this:

digimer@wednesday:/usr/share/tle-bu/tools$ ./reset_password Admin

TLE-BU Password Reset Tool:
 |- Resetting the password for the user: [Admin] with the user ID: [1].

 |- Please re-enter password:
 |- Checking the password's strength.
 |- Good! The password looks strong.
 |- Generating a new salt and encrypting the new password.
 |- Saving the new password and salt to the database.
 \- Thank you, the new password has been saved!

Note that the 'reset_password' must be run either as the user TLE-BU was installed under or as the root user.
