You can change your Trellix IPS database password using the standalone Database Admin tool. Note that this is not the MariaDB Root password.

Note

The Manager has to be stopped when the password is being changed.

To change your Trellix IPS database password:

Steps:

  1. Navigate to <Manager_Install_Dir>\bin.

    Note

    The default Manager installation directory is %programfiles%\Trellix\IPS Manager\App.

  2. Execute the dbadmin.bat file. The standalone tool opens.

  3. Select Maintenance → Password Change.

    Database Admin Tools - Password Change Tab
    Database Admin Tools - Password Change Tab


  4. Enter the current and new passwords in their respective fields.

    Ensure that you do not leave the password fields blank or reenter the current password as the new password again.

  5. Confirm the new password by entering it in the Confirm password field.

  6. Click OK.

  7. Enter the MariaDB Root Password (that you specified during Manager installation).

  8. Click OK.
