User accounts and passwords

You can configure user accounts and login passwords. By default, two user accounts
exist:

• admin, with read and write (read/write) privileges

guest, with read-only privileges

The account names are not case-sensitive.

The first time that you log in as an admin user to the main UI, no password is required
(that is, the password is blank). After you log in for the first time, you are required to
specify a local device password that you then must use to log in again. Each subsequent
time that you log in, you must use your local device password.

A guest user cannot log in until the admin user specifies a password for the guest user.

If you log in as an admin user with read/write privileges, you can assign passwords, set
security parameters for the default accounts, and add and delete accounts (other than
the admin account), up to a maximum of six accounts. As an admin user with read/write
privileges, you modify all data on the main UI pages.
