Managing Passwords
ATTENTION: By default, the system user name is admin and the password is 000000. Passwords
are disabled by default and are not required to access system menus. However, you will be asked
for a password to access certain functions or to log into the system remotely.
When you first startup your system, you are technically logged in as the admin (system
administrator) account. The system supports the following account types:
• Admin—syst
em administrator: has full control of the system, and can change both
administrator and user passwords and enable/disable password protection.
• Operator—user
account: has limited access to the system. Access permissions for operator
accounts can be customized by the admin account.
For security reasons, it is highly recommended to enable passwords on your system. By
d
efault, the system password is disabled.
