Hi,

The password of the admin can not be changed in the MMC to prevent the MMC from being disconnected by a user by accident. This is always the case for the client account set in the Broker Connection Menu (/connections). The user used in a connection to a broker is automatically protected.

The best way here would be to create another client account in the MMC and give it the same roles as the current admin. Then, change the connection to the new client account. Now the admin user should be configurable. Set a new password and change the connection back. :slight_smile:
