[Geoserver-users] Geoserver 2.4.1 master password

Hi,
I noticed that the manual is a little behind the real world when dealing with the master password setting. There seems not to be any masterpw.info anymore. So where can I get the existing master password in order to change it as the starting page suggests?

Answering to myself. There is a dump master password option in Security/Passwords 'Master password forgotten ?'

I was terrified when noticing that the passwword was 'geoserver'! I was thinking whether I would bother change it at all, because previous versions had unique and quite complicated root passwords.

Yep, the documentation is not up to date. Would be nice if you can open a JIRA issue.

Go to the password page, you will find a button to export the master password to a file of your choice.

Cheers
