Once RegScale is installed and running, complete these steps to secure your instance and prepare it for use. Do them in order the first time you log in.

1. Log in as Global Admin

Log in with the default Global Admin (break-glass) account:

  • Username: admin
  • Password: 51mpl3Compliance$

⚠️

Copy and paste the password exactly. Letters and numbers can be easily misread.

📘

On your first login, you will be required to change the Global Admin (break-glass) account password (see Step 2).

2. Change the Default Password

  • Immediately set a new, secure password.
  • Store it in a secure location — it cannot be recovered if lost.

3. Set Domain and License

Go to Configuration and:

  • Set the instance domain (used to build links in outgoing emails).
  • Apply your license:
    • Community Edition (CE): a license is auto-generated.
    • Enterprise Edition (EE): find your Instance ID under Setup, send it to your RegScale contact to receive an Enterprise license key, then paste the key into the license field and save.

See Prerequisites › Licensing for more on licensing.

4. Create Your Tenant Administrator

  • Create your first Administrator user.
  • Use this admin account for all day-to-day actions going forward.
  • Do not use the Global Admin account except to create or manage tenants.

Next Steps

Your instance is ready to configure. To keep it current over time, review the Upgrade Guide.
