The value of the administrator password, used for logging in to Performance Monitor, can also be changed by editing the properties file and updating the password property with the new password in clear text, e.g., adminPassword=mynewpassword. Updating the properties file requires a restart, after which the monitor will encrypt the password and update the jmonitor.properties file with the encrypted value. Using this approach requires that you have access and authority to the jmonitor.properties file.
