Skyline Collector Password Expiring soon / how do I change this?

I recieved an email telling us 'Skyline Collector Password Expiring soon'

But I can't find how to change the password.

When I login to the skyline collector I can't find a change password option ?

Only restart/stop/deregister

Any hints ?

Hellothepeoplesvalley​,

Please find the steps mentioned below to update the Root and Admin password.

Option to update the "Root" Password

  1. Login into the console of the collector appliance virtual machine using the existing root password.
  2. You would be asked to reset the root password.
