Reset the admin password
- Access the CloudBeaver setup wizard in your browser at
http://<your-server-ip>:8978
. The initial server setup wizard will open, allowing you to configure the admin password along with other settings.
Note: Your license, configured connections, and other settings will remain unchanged.
Once complete, the admin password is reset and your server will be ready for use.
