Setting a root password

You can protect the file system of your video system by setting a password for the root user. The root user is disabled by default. You have to use the command line interface to enable the root user and set a root password.

Setting a root password

Perform the following steps to activate the root user and set a password for it:

1.Connect to the system through the network or the serial data port, using a command line interface (SSH or Telnet).

2.Sign in to the system with username and password. The user needs ADMIN rights.

3.Type the following command:

systemtools rootsettings on <password>

NOTE: The root password is not the same as the system (admin) password.
