    By default the credentials are

    Once you log in it is highly recommended that you change the password.
    For changing the password you have to go to user management and edit the password.

    For creating table

    You have to go to Table Management.
    Specify a table name and column families separated by commas
    For creating a custom table you need go to

    Table Management ~~> Advance Table Creation

    Provide the required parameters
    Another feature of HFace is that you can visualize your data in a row-oriented fashion
    For that you have to go to

    table-name ~~> Better Visualization

    You can also add/edit a record,delete a record,delete a latest/all values,view all values of a particular row-key,group by column-families,qualifiers,values, you can write queries in hbase-style too.

    Another feature that i have add is adhoc reporting using charts.Well i am still working on it.
