It is very important that you do this. SmarterMail ships with a default username and password of admin. If you fail to change your password, it could result in your VPS getting hacked.
Also, if you use the Plesk control panel, please make sure to tell Plesk what the new password is by following the steps in our KB article.
1. Remote Desktop into your server and click the
Login to SmarterMail icon on your desktop
2. Your initial SmarterMail login information can be found in your welcome e-mail.
3. Go to the
Settings menu and select
General Settings
4. There are five fields on this form. The first field is the username, which by default is admin. You can change this if you like, but it is not necessary. For
Old Password, enter the password you just logged in with (by default, this password is
admin.) Then, select a new password and fill in the
Old Password field and the
New Password field and hit
Save.
