Hi,

You can just login as the author/editor/admin user in the cms and
click the "change password" link on the dashboard. From a security POV
it's better to remove the default users completely when you have
deployed the CMS to a server. It's better to just create accounts for
people that need access and give them the correct privileges. Just
make sure there is always at least one admin user or you will have
basically locked yourself out. Currently the CMS offers no protection
against that.

Regards,
Bart

i agree with removing the default users, our issue has been that sometimes corporate ldap is not available and we need to be able to log in. that is the only reason we keep them.
