User and Administrator Passwords
Some menu options are protected by two privilege levels, user and administrator, each with its
own password. When logging into the web user interface, you need to enter the user name and
password to access various menu options. The default user password is “user” and the default
administrator password is “admin”.
For security reasons, the user or administrator should change the default user or administrator
password as soon as possible. A user or an administrator can change the user password. The
administrator password can only be changed by an administrator.
Advanced menu options are strictly used by administrators. Users can configure them only if
they have administrator privileges.
