Comment: How to log on as Admin after installation

During the installation process an admin account is created, with a random password. If you have not noted this password, I am afraid you will have to redo the install...

Basically, an associate (or an admin, as others say) are just standard user profiles, except that they have the additional capability to behave like an associate.

The usual way to proceed is:
  • to install YACS - you will be considered automatically as an associate for this
  • to note the admin password created randomly
  • during the installation YACS will give you the opportunity to create a new user profile for you; on the edit form, check the radio button to make it an associate
  • logout, then login using your new profile
  • if a problem arise, login using the admin account and change your profile
  • once you are able to login as an associate using your own profile, you should delete the admin account


Thank you for your feed-back, I will try to update the setup scripts to make this more simple to new users.

Hope it helps, Bernard
