This Administrator can be configured in the admin group with full access privileges through the Serial & Network: Users & Groups menu (refer Chapter 4 for details)

There are no restrictions on the characters that can be used in the System Description or the System Password (each can contain up to 254 characters). However, only the first eight System Password characters are used to make the password hash.
