11. Since all Network Receivers are shipped with the default
Username of “admin”, and a Password of “welcome”. It is
recommended that the password be changed for security
purposes on the admin account. The password is changed
with the passwd command (Figure 11) .
Figure 11 Use the passwd command to change the password
IMPORTANT! It is very important that the new password be
written down and stored in a safe place. AXCESS Inc. will not
know what new password has been chosen. If the new
password is lost or forgotten, the unit will have to be returned
and the entire operating software reloaded .
12. To add a new user to the list of known system users, the
useradd command is used – See Appendix A for complete
documentation. Similarly, the userdel command will
remove a user from the system.
13. Type date to verify the date, time, and time zone are
correct. You can use the date command to set the date
and time on the Network Receiver unit. Again, see details
in Appendix D.
