When the Rational® DOORS® database server is installed, it does not have a password, so anyone can manage
the server. To control who manages your database server, you can set a password by
using the database server administration tool.
About this task

Rational DOORS server by using the database server administration tool, DBSAdmin. If you

forget the password of the database server, contact IBM Software Support
for instructions to reset the password.
