  2. Run the following command to switch to the client directory, for example, /opt/Bigdata/client:

    cd /opt/Bigdata/client

    source bigdata_env

  4. Run the following command and enter the password of user kadmin/admin to log in to the kadmin console:

    kadmin -p kadmin/admin

    The default password of user kadmin/admin is Admin@123. Change the password upon your first login or as prompted and keep the new password secure.
