Initial Login
The installation program creates a default ID Works User Name: Admin.
The password for this user name is also Admin. You can use the Admin
user name to log into any ID Works application.
Recommendation: Use the Admin User Name to log in to the
Administrator application. Immediately create an ID Works user
account for yourself with System Administrator privileges (see the
Administrator help topic “Manage user accounts”), and then
change the password for the Admin User Name (see the
Administrator help topic “Change your password”).
