Changing the Passwords
You can change the login password for either the Admin user or the Monitor user. The
Admin user has access to all NetEnforcer functions, while the Monitor user has
read-only access. It is strongly recommended to change the default password (

NetEnforcer might enable access from anywhere on the Internet, and should therefore
be protected with a unique password.
