2 Getting Started
After installing SLIMS and setting up the database you need to do the following steps to populate
the system with your data.
2.1 Logging In & Managing Accounts
The first time you log in to SLIMS, whatever you enter as login and password will work and will be
stored as belonging to “First User”. Once you are in, you can go to “Supporting Tables” then
select “Users” from the drop down menu to edit your account (i.e. change the name and initials)
. From here, you can also create new accounts using the “New User” button.

If you are not the first user to use the SLIMS, ask an admin to create an account for you.
Changing the permissions of an account will also require the password to be changed. Be sure to
mark down what the password was changed to before continuing.
2.2 Changing Your Password
If you want to change your password, you must be logged in as an admin user or ask someone
who is an admin user to help you (go to “Supporting Tables” then select “Users” to see who are
admin users).
As an admin, go to “Supporting Tables” then select “Users” from the drop down menu. Click
next to the user you want to change the password for, then use the password field.
