To Change the Password at the First Sign-In

Every MYOB Advanced instance comes with an active default user account that you use to sign in to the system. You start working with MYOB Advanced by changing the password for the default user.

To Change the Password for the Default User

1. Launch the application instance you have deployed by doing one of the following:
   • On the Welcome page of the MYOB Advanced Configuration Wizard, click Perform Application Maintenance. On the Application Maintenance page, select the instance you have deployed and click Launch.
   • Use the link created automatically in the MYOB Advanced program group.
   • Navigate to http://localhost/Instance_Name/ in the web browser, where Instance_Name is the name that you specified in the Virtual Directory Name box on the Website Configuration page during configuration. (If you used the default name for the virtual directory during the deployment of the instance, you would use the following URL: http://localhost/AcumaticaERP/.)
     Note: The http://localhost/Instance_Name/ URL works only on the local computer where you have installed MYOB Advanced Tools. To access the MYOB Advanced instance remotely, use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server instead of localhost in the URL.
2. On the Sign-In page, type the following default credentials:
   • My User Name: admin
   • My Password: setup
3. Click Sign In.
4. Type the new password in the New Password and Confirm Password boxes.
5. If your MYOB Advanced instance is configured so that you need to agree to the terms of the MYOB User Agreement, do the following:
   1. Click the MYOB User Agreement link, and read the user agreement.
   2. Select Check here to indicate that you have read and agree to the terms of the MYOB User Agreement, if you agree to these terms. If you don't agree to the terms of the user agreement, you cannot start using the software.
6. Click Sign In.
