default password `dba` doesn't work
Dear all,
I've installed virtuso-opensource-7 from source through Github and also with apt-get on my ubuntu 14.04. Everything seems to work fine except the default username and password don't work.
If I run virtuoso through the command $ service virtuoso-opensource-7 and go to http://localhost:8890 the username dba and the password dba don't work.
I hadn't blue screen during the installation to change the password or even the username.
If you have response, thanks in advance.
If you perform a Virtuoso build and installation from the git repo at https://github.com/openlink/virtuoso-opensource then the default dba user password must be dba as empty database will be created setting it as such. If that is not the password then there must be an existing database for which its password has been changed to secure the database ...
I don't know if Ubuntu might set the dba to something other than the default for the prebuilt binary provided with their distributions ...

From what I can see, the Ubuntu packages are simply using debconf to set the default password the first time the package is installed, so the user(s) must have set something at that time.

I have forgot ,my password before create the databas e, but the defaults credentials , stop working . how can i reset my password.
@manueng - Is your database "as created" or have you been working with it using the default credentials?
If you have not made changes, you can simply discard the virtuoso.db, and Virtuoso will generate a fresh new DB that uses the default credentials, which you can then change (as always recommended).
If you have made changes to your database which would be lost by such regeneration, we may be able to assist through a Support Case. Lost DBA credentials are generally a non-recoverable situation, so it is strongly recommended that you immediately change these from the defaults to something easily remembered and/or saved to your secure local password manager.
I also wondered what they are, as I installed the Docker image and it is said in the logs:
Starting for DBA password change. ... The DBA password is changed. The DAV password is changed.
Nothing else. I found the passwords per https://hub.docker.com/r/openlink/virtuoso-opensource-7 in the /settings/dba_password and /settings/dav_password files inside the container. The username for the Conductor was the default dba.
