Setting the root password
When accessing the camera for the first time, the
Configure Root Password dialog is displayed on the
screen.
1. Enter a password and re-enter to confirm
the spelling. Click OK.
Note:
Before you enter your password at this point, you can secure
configuration of the root password via HTTPS by creating a
self-signed certificate. To do so, click the Create self-signed
certificate... button in the Create Certificate window, and
then proceed as follows.
2. The Enter Network Password dialog
appears. Enter the User name: root
Note: The default administrator user name root is permanent and cannot be deleted or altered.
3. Enter the password as set in step 2 above, and click OK. If the password is lost, the
camera must be reset to the factory default settings. See “Resetting to the factory
default settings”.
If required, click Yes to install the AXIS Media Control (AMC). You will need administrator
rights on the computer to do this.
