The Administrator user account
The Administrator user account bypasses all access rights checks. Use this account only when absolutely necessary; for example, if no other users can log in, or if other users cannot access part of the database. Use the Administrator user account carefully:
- Be careful about who can access the account.
- Choose a strong password that contains alphanumeric characters and symbols.
- Change the password regularly.
- Do not lose the password.
You can change the password for the Administrator user only when you are logged in as that user. If you lose the password, you must contact IBM® Software Support.
The Administrator user is a special administrative account; it is not shown on pages that list user names, such as the Manage Users page. To change the user options for the Administrator user, log in as that user and click . You must type the Administrator user name as shown in English.
