Installing the WEC Starter Package
Closing Security Risks – Backend User Admin
The most critical password to change is the TYPO3 backend admin user password. If some malicious user figures out your site is running TYPO3 and wants to get into the backend, there's a good chance they'll try the default admin username and password first. Please change this immediately!
To change this default user:
Click the Web > List link on the left side menu. A page tree will display near the center of the page showing a list of web pages and folders in the website. The content of the page tree was created during the WEC Starter Package installation.
In the page tree, click on the top level page (WEC Starter Package) for the website to display a list at the right that includes a list of authorized backend users.
Click on the
pencil icon next to the admin user. The edit screen for the user will then open on the right. See the example below.
Enter a new username (example shows myadmin).
Enter a new password (example shows mypassword, but please pick a more complex password that would be difficult to guess).
Click the
Save or
Save and Close button at the top of the page.You will return to the top-level edit screen. See the example below.
