Hello,

I cannot seem to find a way to change or reset my Username and Password for the 1st login that Admin Tools prompts.
I am not talking about the Joomla user as this seems to be the only topic I can find.

The one way it seems it I have to do a Quick Setup Wizard but you have this warning: "You should only run the Quick Setup Wizard once, when you first install Admin Tools. If you run it again it will override all your settings! If you want to adjust the configuration use the other buttons above. "

Please advise as I have a number of sites that I would like to change out the usernames and passwords. Reason is someone have my details I shared with for access to one of my sites and I am not trusting this company...

What you are looking for is the Password-protect Administrator feature: https://www.akeeba.com/documentation/admin-tools-joomla/admin-pw-protection.html Enter the new information in the form, then click on “Apply password protection”. If you want to instead completely remove that protection, go to that page and click on the “Remove Password Protection” button without filling the form.
