To access the Manager from a client machine, do the following:

Log in to the Manager shell using SSH.
Execute the dbShell command to enter the database.
By default, the Manager database has two users:
Default Username
Default Password
admin
Last six characters of your Manager server instance ID
root
Last six characters of your Manager server instance ID
Note
To know the Manager server instance ID, run status command in the Manager shell.
Note
Trellix strongly recommends you change these passwords during your first interaction with the Manager shell. The new password must be at least 8 characters in length and must contain a combination of numbers, characters, and special characters.
