The default data directory on Linux is `$HOME/.monkey_island`, and on Windows is `%AppData%\monkey_island`. + +Any runtime artifacts will be stored in the data directory. + ## How do I reset the Monkey Island password? When you first access the Monkey Island server, you'll be prompted to create an account. If you forget the credentials you entered, or just want to change them, you need to alter the `server_config.json` file manually.
