The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

To access Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration and log in, follow this procedure:
Procedure
Step 1 Log in to Cisco Unified Presence Server Administration.
Step 2 From the Navigation menu in the upper, right corner of the Cisco Unified Presence Server Administration window, choose Cisco Unified OS Administration and click Go.
The Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration Logon window displays.
Note You can also access Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration directly by entering the following URL:

Step 3 Enter your Administrator username and password.
Note The Administrator username and password get established during installation or created using the command line interface.
Step 4 Click Submit.
The Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration window displays.
If you lose the Administrator password and cannot access the system, use the following procedure to reset the Administrator password.
Note During this procedure, you will be required to remove and then insert a valid CD or DVD in the disk drive to prove that you have physical access to the system.
Procedure
Step 1 Log in to the system with the following username and password:
•Username: pwrecovery
•Password: pwreset
The Welcome to admin password reset window displays.
Step 2 Press any key to continue.
Step 3 If you have a CD or DVD in the disk drive, remove it now.
Step 4 Press any key to continue.
The system tests to ensure that you have removed the CD or DVD from the disk drive.

The system tests to ensure that you have inserted the disk.
Step 6 After the system verifies that you have inserted the disk, you get prompted to enter a new Administrator password.
Note The system resets the Administrator username to admin. If you want to set up a different Administrator username and password, use the CLI command set password. For more information, see "Command Line Interface."
Step 7 Reenter the new password.
The system checks the new password for strength. If the password does not contain enough different characters, you get prompted to enter a new password.
