  2. In the Password field, enter your password.

  3. Click Login to log on to the application.

For a new installation, the default system administrator account user name is admin and the password is SevOne. The admin user has a lot of power which, if abused, could cause considerable damage. After you log on for the first time, you will be prompted to change the default password.

User Time Settings

The first time you log on you can set your time zone. This setting is important to ensure that graphs, reports, and time spans display for the correct time.

  1. Click the Time Zone drop-down and select a time zone. If a time zone does not appear in the list, the Cluster Manager > Cluster Settings tab > Devices subtab enables you to add time zones.

  2. Select the Never Ask Me Again check box if you do not want to be prompted to update to the SevOne NMS time zone upon logon when the browser time zone is different. If you travel, you may want to leave this check box clear so your experience is always in your current time zone.

  3. Click Save.

Change Password

If your user manager defines your account to force you to change your password when you log on for the first time, the Configuration pop-up includes fields to change your password.

  1. In the Old Password field, enter your current password.

  2. In the New Password field, enter your new password.

  3. In the Confirm Password field, enter your new password a second time.
