installed as part of the Portal Server installation package. If the hardware/software
combination was purchased from VBrick, MySQL will already be installed on your machine;
the default user name is
root
. To protect the integrity of the database, you should change the
default password (
vbrick_18
) after initial installation and periodically thereafter as explained
below. To backup the MySQL database, see EtherneTV Backup on page 127.
