and passwords for each access level are listed in

Table 5 "User Access

Note:

The default Administrator user password can be changed during

the initial configuration. For the Operator user, the Boot user, and the
Root user however, the default passwords are used even after the initial
configuration. It is therefore recommended that you change the default
NVG passwords soon after the initial configuration, and as regularly as
required under your network security policies. For more information
about how to change a user account password, see

“Changing a Users

Password” (page 88)
