The default guest name is “guest” with the password “guest.” The
default administrator name is “admin” with the password “admin.”
◆
The guest only has read access for most configuration parameters.
However, the administrator has write access for all parameters
governing the onboard agent. You should therefore assign a new
administrator password as soon as possible, and store it in a safe place.
