Configure a mail server for password recovery and
notifications
Introduction
When you have forgotten your System administrator password you can recover it, but only when
you have configured an email server first.
The email address is also used to send a notification email when security updates and system
updates are available.
When to do
Make sure you configure the mail server as soon as possible, otherwise you cannot recover your
password or send security updates.
Before you begin
Make sure you collect the following information before you begin. If you do not have the
information, ask your IT administrator.
• Hostname of the mail server
• The port used for the mail server
• Type of mail server connection: secured or not
• In case of a secured connection: the username and password
• The email address you want to use to receive the password recovery link
• If necessary, change the mail server port number (default 25)
