### Data Store Password

The Sun Ray system uses an administrative user account to perform privileged actions, such as modifying entries in the Sun Ray data store. By default, the Admin GUI uses the same account to authenticate users during login. The initial password of this “admin” user is specified during Sun Ray Server Software configuration.

As with the `utpw` command, if you change the password using the Admin GUI, the new password is applied to the Sun Ray data store as well as to the password file on the local server.

Note – In a failover group each server uses its own local password file. Thus, after changing the data store password, you must also manually update the password files on all the other server, for example, by logging in to each server and running the `utpw` command there.
