Change User Passwords
If you are an Admin User, you can change passwords for other users. You do not need to know the
current password. Additionally, all users can change their own password using Password Reset under
Configuration > Account Management, but they must know their current password to change it. Non-
admin users who have forgotten their password will need an Admin User to create a new one.
Password Criteria
Password must include lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers and symbols. Password must be
8-32 characters in length. Password may not contain spaces or tabs.
You should change the default
admin account user password at
your first opportunity. Leaving
the default password on the
system poses a security risk.
User Roles
During installation, AirDefense sets up an Admin User account. The Admin User may create other user
accounts (including Admin) or group accounts. All Admin Users have the ability to create additional
accounts and change user or group accounts.
