Setting Description
Security By default, the Security setting is turned off. To activate the Security setting, highlight it and press the [Spacebar] key. Upon

The default administrator password is ADMIN. For security purposes, it is recommended that you update the administrator
password to something unique. (See the Security Settings section for details) Note: When security is activated, the keyboard
hotkey commands are disabled, leaving the OSD as the only way for you to locally access the connected computers. Upon
pressing the [Shift] [Shift] invocation command, you will be prompted to enter your password before the OSD can be accessed.
The security settings in this OSD are exclusive to the local console, and do not affect the remote access security settings.

to any of the four options below. To toggle between commands, highlight the Hotkey option and press the [Spacebar] key.
