How to set the AXIGEN admin password.

The AXIGEN admin password is not set.

1. Using command line
Stop the server if it is started. Run axigen only with -A (or --admin-passwd) option and then start the server.

Example:

For Linux version:

/path/to/axigen/binary/axigen -A new_password_here

For Windows version via the command prompt:
C:\> cd path\to\axigen.exe\file
C:\> axigen.exe --console -A new_password_hereIn order to access command prompt go to Start -> Run -> type "cmd" and press OK.

NOTE: The password can be used only with "admin" username.
NOTE: The -A option doesn't start the server.

2. Using the CLI interface

In order to set the admin password, you must login into the CLI interface and enter the following commands:

CHANGE password oldPassword <pass> newPassword <pass>

NOTE: No server restart is needed, and the new password will be taken under consideration, immediately.
