• If this is your first time logging in to the local console, log in to the VM with the default credentials.
The default user name is admin and the password is password. Otherwise, use your credentials to
log in.
Note
We recommend changing the default password. You do this by running the passwd
command from the local console menu (item 6 on the main menu). For information
about how to run the command, see
Console (p. 239). You can also set the password from the Storage Gateway console. For
more information, see
Console (p. 253).
Setting the Local Console Password from the Storage Gateway Console
When you log in to the local console for the first time, you log in to the VM with the default credentials.
For all types of gateways, you use default credentials. For volume and tape gateways, the user name is
sguser and the password is sgpassword. For file gateways, the user name is admin and the password
is password.
We recommend that you always set a new password immediately after you create your new gateway. You
can set this password from the AWS Storage Gateway console rather than the local console if you want.
You don't need to know the default password to set a new password.

new password.
3. For Actions, choose Set Local Console Password.
4. In the Set Local Console Password dialog box, enter a new password, confirm the password, and
then choose Save.
Your new password replaces the default password. AWS Storage Gateway doesn't save the password
but rather safely transmits it to the VM.
Note
The password can consist of any character on the keyboard and can be 1–512 characters
long.
