# Changing Container Credentials

You can change the user name and password associated with each container.

Caution: A container's default user name is `connector_user` and the default password is `change_me`. ArcSight strongly recommends that for optimal security, you should change each container’s credentials to a non-default value before deploying it to production.

To change container credentials:

1. Click Node Management.

2. In the navigation tree, navigate to the host on which the container resides.

3. Click the Containers tab.

4. On the Containers tab, select one or more containers for which to change the credentials.

5. Click Credentials.

6. Follow the instructions in the wizard to update the credentials for the selected containers.
