Setting the admin password
Use the following API to login as the admin.
POST /rest/v10.04/login?username=admin
A new session is started and a response code
268
is returned along with the message:
"Session is restricted. Administrator password must be set before continuing."
NOTE:
This session is valid only to change the admin password and logout from the REST API UI. Any other request will return a
Forbidden code (403)
.
Use the following API to change the admin password.
PUT /rest/v10.04/system/users/admin
```json
{
"password": "<enter the password>"
}
```
After the password is changed successfully, the session restriction is removed.
