# CYE Root User

## Root User Definition

A root user is created during installation of Cyclone ENTERPRISE. The root user has full control over managing the server settings, projects, users, etc.

## Root User Default Credentials

After the installation of Cyclone ENTERPRISE, the root user has the following temporary credentials:

- Username: root
- Password: root

> [!NOTE]
> Note: At first login, you will be required to change the root user's default password before you can proceed.

> [!NOTE]
> Note: The default password credential is only valid for 48 hours after the completed installation. If you do not login within the 48-hour window, you will need to reset the root user's password (see below for how to do this).

- C:\Program Files\Leica Geosystems\Cyclone ENTERPRISE

After running reset password tool, the Root user's temporary credentials will be set as the following:

- Username: root
- Password: root

> [!NOTE]
