Once you are done with basic installation, you might want to change the following important passwords to keep your setup safe. As long as your system is running with a private IP address behind a router with all ports closed, these passwords will only affect people trying to log in from inside your network, as no one can log in from outside anyway.
Change the password for SSH or console login with:
passwd
To change the FreePBX login select Admin – Administrators in FreePBX. On the right side of the page below Add User select admin. The password can be changed here.
There are 2 more passwords that should be changed. In FreePBX open Settings – Advanced Settings. Find the field Asterisk Manager Password and change this password. On the same page, search for User Portal Admin Password and change the password for the ARI administrator login as well.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Thanks, but unfortunately not, that's the doc I'm following and the user portal admin doesn't exist on the referenced screen in Freepbx. Hence the question does this feature exist anywhere still - as I suspect that an upgrade to FreePBX moved the option or removed the requirement altogether.
There is still an ARI section which looks as if it might refer to the same or similar function but no admin user or password. Can't find it on other pages either.

Does this still exist? If so where?
Trying to set up a clean base for imaging so don't want to play around too much.
Is this what you are looking for ?

I don't find it either. I think it can be modified if you login thru ssh and modify this file /etc/amportal.conf
look for FPBX_ARI_PASSWORD
Edit: It doesn't seem to work, it will go back to the default... it needs to be modified thru mysql database maybe
