First off: Thank you for building a rock-solid (and free) build server, which we're now using for more than half a decade without any issues whatsoever!

My question relates to the "appveyor" user account which is being created automatically when installing AppVeyor as self-hosted Team Edition on Windows Server: According to the following thread, the password for that user is being automatically generated during installation. To be able to administrate a new code signing certificate, I'd need to log-in (or at the very least run a few commands using runas) with that user account, thus I wanted to ask whether there is any way to retrieve its password?

    Hi Damian,

    You can just change the password for that user account.
