Secure API Manager is an appliance and we have configured many options for you. One of the options is the user name of the global administrator. The default name is admin. You set the password for this account during the deployment of the first component for your system.
If you need to change the password for the global administrator account, you must use the Deployment Manager to change the password.
WARNING:Always use the Deployment Manager to change the global administrator’s password. Never use the option in the administration console or the password never changes.
To change the global administrator’s password:
Access the appliance administration console as vaadmin.
