rhtyd commented on issue #2125: CLOUDSTACK-9927: Root admin user should be
forced to change password …

Thanks @harikrishna-patnala for the PR. I think the intention to force the
admin to change the admin password is better to be suggested/enforced when
`cloudstack-setup-databases` is run, i.e. during installation of the mgmt
server but not via the UI. Given views from others, I'll close the PR but
encourage sending another PR where the suggestion/enforcement may be performed
via the `cloudstack-setup-databases` script which may display/print a warning
when the default user/admin password is not changed.

>
> 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.
> Mitigation:
> Do not continue in UI until admin has changed his password to something other
> than the default. Also, do not permit the admin to change his password back
> to the default one later.
