There are two access types: Normal and Privileged. Normal level only provides access to a limited number of commands, while Privileged level provides access to all commands. The default administrator account has write access for all of the parameters governing the switch. You should therefore assign a password as soon as possible and store it in a safe place.

Note – The default administrator user name is admin with the password admin.
