Set the Root Password
To gain access to the Axis product, you must set t he password for the default administrator user root. This is done in the Congure
Root Password dialog, which appears when the product is accessed for the rs t time.
To prevent network eavesdropping, the root password can b e set via an encrypted HTTPS connection, which requires an HTTPS
certicate. HTTPS (Hyp ertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a protocol used to encrypt trafc between web browsers and servers. The
HTTPS certicate ensures encrypted exchange of information.
To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it directly in the rst d ialog.
To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, follow these steps:
1. Click Create self-signed certicate.
2. Provide the requested information and click OK.Thecerticate is created and the password can now be set securely. All
trafc to and from the prod uct is encrypted from this point on.
3. Enter a pass w ord and then re-enter to conrm the spelling. Click OK. The password has now been congured.
Note
The default administrator user name root is permanent and cannot be deleted.
If the password for root is lost, the product must be reset to the factory default settings. See
