harikrishna-patnala opened a new pull request #2125: CLOUDSTACK-9927: Root 
admin user should be forced to change password ?
URL: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/2125
 
 
   The default password for the root admin in CloudStack is "password". The 
user is not required to change this password.
   
   Using CloudStack with the default password is the same as using it with no 
password. An attacker could log onto the management UI or API and make changes 
to the system, delete or steal resources, and stop services.
   
   This fix should not allow admin to continue in UI until  password is changed 
to something other than the default. Also, do not permit the admin to change 
his password back to the default one later. 
   Also fixed the issue where the password check now runs only for root admin 
users and not others.
