Provide instructions on how to set admin password
-------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-1591
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1591
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Task
Affects Versions: 1.6.0-RC1
Reporter: Chris Holmes
Assignee: David Winslow
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 1.6.0-RC2
So our biggest regression is that you can no longer set the admin password from the web UI. Unfortunately many people thinks this means you can't set the admin password at all. We should provide clear instructions on how to set the admin password, from the documentation and from within the web UI. Like in the places were we used to tell people to go to the admin page to set it, we give them a link to the docs. And on the old admin page we have the full instructions there, 'go to your geoserver data directory (which you can find in xxx) and in the xxx file set the admin password to xx). Can also tell people how they can add more than one username/password with admin permissions.
