Hello Michael,

Although rather new to Koha myself, I have understood that the “master” Koha user is none other then the user (& password) with witch Koha connects to MySQL.

If you want to change it, you should change it both in the configuration file, and then in mysql (for example “ SET PASSWORD FOR 'user'@'hostname' = PASSWORD('passwordhere'); “);

Hope that helps,

Andrew

Subject: [Koha] Changing Koha Master Password

My IT person is trying to set up Koha 2.2.8 for Windows on Windows XP SP2.  The installation of Koha and Apache, MySQL, etc. looks good and Koha comes up just fine.  My question is: How to you change the master koha login/password combination from koha, koha?  He found the file with the login=koha and password=koha but we were unable to change them.  After the changed file was saved, when we tried to log in, we got server errors.  Any ideas?
