Use this command to modify the default password for the Configuration Database.
When you install TrueSight IT Data Analytics, by default, the SA (super admin) user with corresponding default password is used for accessing the Configuration Database.
As a security precaution or as part of your normal maintenance, you might want to change the default password for accessing the Configuration Database. You might also need to change the password in a scenario where you forgot the previous password that was set. In these scenarios, as an administrator, you can use this command to change the default password (or the previous password) and protect against unauthorized access.
Running this command results in a restart of the following services:
- Console Server
