Managing Passwords

Managing Passwords

ATTENTION: By default, the system user name is admin and the password is 000000. Passwords are enabled by default and are required to access the Main Menu.

The password is required to log into the system remotely using a computer or mobile device. You will be prompted to create a custom password after you connect for the first time.

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—system 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 essential to create your own custom password.
