<p>The first time you run $PRODUCT_NAME through a web browser, it will prompt you to choose an administrative username and password.  This information specifies the first user and is stored in the users.cfg file in the LogAnalysisInfo $lang_stats.directory.  After that you can create additional users by editing the users.cfg file.</p>

<p>The administrative users(s) must be logged in to perform any tasks where security is an issue, for instance, when specifying which log data to process, or when creating a profile.  If your administrator changes or you forget the name and password, you can reset it by removing the users.cfg file.</p> 

<p>You can check the "save my password" box when you enter the password.  If you do that, $PRODUCT_NAME will save your username and password on the machine running the web browser, and will not ask you for the password if you are using that machine.  Be careful though -- anyone else using that machine will also be able to get into $PRODUCT_NAME without a password.</p>

<p>For more information on security in $PRODUCT_NAME, see {=docs_chapter_link('security')=}.</p>
