after a new installation of WCS 4.1.83 I cannot login to WCS using the default account root/public.
Is there another account or a way to reset it???

This is from the release notes:
the WCS Password
You can change the WCS application root user or FTP user password. This option provides a safeguard
if you lose the root password. An executable was added to the installer /bin directory (passwd.exe for
Windows and passwd.sh for Linux). Follow these steps to recover the passwords and regain access to
WCS.
Note If you are a Linux user, you must be the root user to run the command.
Step 1 Stop WCS.
Step 2 On a Windows operating system, change to the WCS bin folder. (Linux does not have a WCS bin folder.)
Step 3 Perform one of the following:
Enter passwd root-user
root account for access to the operating system on which WCS is running). The newpassword is the root
login password you choose.
or
Enter passwd location-ftp-user
The newuser and newpassword are the FTP user and password you choose.
Step 4 The following options are available with these commands:
? -q ? to quiet the output
? -pause ? to pause before exiting
? -gui ? to switch to the graphical user interface
? -force ? to skip prompting for configuration
