<br />
== MORE INFORMATION ==<br />
<br />
The Microsoft Metadirectory Services (MMS) Default Administration account and password are automatically created when you install MMS. The account is named Administrator, but the Administrator logs on using an e-mail account that uses the following syntax:<br />
<div class="indent"><br />
<br />
Server@Server.domainname.com<br />
<br />
<br />
</div><br />
The password is case-sensitive and is generated from the server name. When you complete the installation, both the Administrator account name and password are displayed. A warning message also appears stating:<br />
<div class="errormessage"><br />
<br />
PLEASE NOTE - YOU SHOULD MODIFY THIS PASSWORD IMMEDIATELY AND AFTER ANY SYSTEM RE-INITIALIZATION.<br />
<br />
</div><br />
To change the Administrator password, follow these steps:<br />
# Log on to Compass.<br />
# On the location bar, click '''The Known Universe'''.<br />
# On the '''Action Panel''', click '''Search'''.<br />
# In the Search Panel, type <span class="kbd userinput"> administrator</span>.<br />
# Double-click the '''Administrator of <code>server_name</code>''' alias to open the properties.<br />
# On the '''Identity''' tab, type the new password in the '''Password''' box.<br />
# Confirm the password, type in the original password, and then click '''OK'''.<br />
# Log off Compass, and then log on again using the new password.<br />
