## How to reset the password?
On your first access of Monkey Island server, you'll be prompted to create an account. If you forgot the credentials you
entered or just want to change them, you need to manually alter the `server_config.json` file. On Linux, this file is
located on `/var/monkey/monkey_island/cc/server_config.json`. On windows, it's based on your install directory (typically
`C:\Program Files\Guardicore\Monkey Island\monkey_island\cc\server_config.json`). Reset the contents of this file back to
```json
{
"server_config": "password",
"deployment": "windows"
}
```
Leave the deployment option unchanged (it might be "vmware" or "linux" in your case). Then reset the Island process
(`sudo systemctl restart monkey-island.service` for linux, restart program for windows). Go to the island's URL and create
a new account.
