Changing the Password of the Default User Account

The default user account provides complete access to all features of the Citrix NetScaler SDX appliance. Therefore, to preserve security, the nsroot account should be used only when necessary, and only individuals whose duties require full access should know the password for the nsroot account. Citrix recommends changing the nsroot password frequently. If you lose the password, you can reset the password to the default by reverting the appliance settings to factory defaults , and you can then change the password.

You can change the password of the default user account in the Users pane. In the Users pane, you can view the following details:

Name

Lists the user accounts configured on the SDX appliance.

Permission

Displays the permission level assigned to the user account.
