Administering Aggregate

Warning

ODK Aggregate is no longer being updated. Please use ODK Central instead.

Click the Log In link in the upper right corner of the screen to be presented with the Log onto Aggregate screen. Choose the Sign in with Aggregate password button and enter the super-user username you specified within the installer. The initial password for this account is aggregate. When you log in, Site Admin will be visible to you.

Tip

When signing in with this method, if you do not enter the password correctly, you may need to close all your browser windows and quit your browser before you can try again.

Warning

If the instance name of the server changes (the installer asks for this name), then the passwords for all ODK Aggregate usernames will no longer be valid and the super-user username's password will be reset to aggregate. In this case, you should log in, change the super-user's password, and change the passwords for all of your ODK Aggregate usernames.

Warning

Remember to change the default password of your super-user account. Otherwise, anyone can take complete control of your server!
