2. In the editor modify the following line to change the username and password:

    

    <user username="visiblethread" password="password" roles="vtdeploymentadmin"/> 

3. Hit 'Ctrl-o' and 'Ctrl-x' to save and exit the editor

4. Restart the VisibleThread application by typing the following at the command line:
   Ubuntu:

   /home/visiblethread/VisibleThreadTools/vt-restart-server.sh

   Red Hat:

   sudo systemctl restart visiblethread-docs
