# Step 2: Change default passwords

For your production server, we highly recommend that you change the default passwords in the following SQL script files to make the databases more secure.

**Note:** If you are evaluating Pentaho, then you might want to skip this step.

1. Browse to the `pentaho/server/pentaho-server/data/sqlserver` directory.
2. Use any text editor to change the passwords in these SQL scripts:
   * `create_jcr_sqlServer.sql`
   * `create_quartz_sqlServer.sql`
   * `create_repository_sqlServer.sql`
   * `pentaho_mart_sqlServer.sql`
