Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian Web Pro Edition 18.0.65 Update #2

Hi, i want to change administrator password in plesk, currently i am able to log into using user "admin" as well as "administrator".

Using Edit profile i am able to update "admin" user password .

I am not able to see user "administrator" in user list as well.

Also using command line code thru which i can update password i am able to update password only for user "admin" but no option for "administrator"

plesk bin admin --set-admin-password -passwd "MyPassword"

Hello! The Administrator is built-in Windows user and it's only possible to change it by connecting to the server via RDP. For example:

let me refrain my question i am able to log into plesk using user "admin" as well as "administrator".

i am able to change password of admin user from plesk as well as command line, but not able to find user administrator in plesk whose password i want to change.

Thank you for update. Yes, it is possible to login into Plesk using built-in Administrator password but you can't change it via Plesk GUI or CLI for security reasons. It is possible to do only directly in Windows system.

Thank you, didn't knew plesk uses build in administrator user to log in, resetting windows password changed the login credentials for plesk as well.
