Virtual Center Server

Is there a default password assigned for admin access to the virtual center server through the client?

If there is not how do I reset the password as the prior person in my position has left the company.

What version of VirtualCenter?

For 2.5 - this questions:

Are you a local admin for the server hosting VirtualCenter? The reason I ask is that the deafult install allows local admins access to VirtualCenter - we have an AD group that is in the local admins and use our administrative accounts to login via the client.

I see that my local admin can get in and it works like a charm.

First off welcome to the boards

By default the local administrators group on the VirtualCenter server can gain access through the VI Client. This includes the local administrator account, and if part of a domain the Domain Admins group which is placed inside the local administrators group by default.
