Impacted GUI: Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 3000 First Time Setup Wizard and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface

The Change Password page allows you to set the administrator username and password for your system. Administrators can perform all tasks in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 3000 graphical user interface, including but not limited to adding phones, users, monitoring the system, and so on. Anyone with the username and password can log in to the graphical user interfaces and perform configuration tasks.

Tip For security purposes, Cisco requires that you change the default password that comes with your system. Enter values that are difficult to guess, and remember your new username and password because the password does not display in the Change Password page. After you complete the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 3000 First Time Setup Wizard, you use the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface to change the administrator username and password (System Settings > Administrator).

Table 10-1 describes the settings that display on the Change Password page.
