1) Changing Admin Login

There are 2 ways to change the admin login:

  1. If you currently know the admin login and can log into the Geo admin tool you can change the master admin login at: ADMIN TOOLS & SETTING > CHANGE PASSWORD. Only use alphanumeric characters. To change further information about that user click the "Edit Admin's Personal Data" link on that same page.
  2. If you have lost your Geo admin master login you can go to the reset admin login when lost page for instructions

<tip c n>The character set type allowed in the user and password are of the UTF-8 character set. The specific characters allowed are all letters, numbers, spaces, dots,dashes and underscores. No odd characters like the tilde and others are allowed.</tip>

Things to Know About the Admin User

  • This is one of the first things to do after installing your software. As long as you have the default admin login set you will see a "must change admin login" message in the top of your admin tool.
  • You can have as many master admins as you want logged in at one time. But as you can see this could get confusing unless you are organized about which admin is doing what and not stepping on another admin's configuration.
  • If you want to create other admin users yet only give them access to specific admin tools use the multi-admin user addon to create and manage them using the master admin user
