# InitialPassword

The initial password for the user that Community creates. This password must meet any password requirements that you have configured. See Set User Name and Password Restrictions.

You can add the password in plain text, or in AES encryption format. For information about encrypting passwords in configuration files, see Password Encryption. OpenText strongly recommends that you change the initial password after creation if you use a plain text password in the configuration file.

NOTE: Community does not modify any existing users. If you restart Community, it does not recreate the user or reset any passwords.
