Set the Root Password
To access the Axis product, you must set the password for the default administrator user
root
. This is done in the
Configure Root
Password
dialog, which opens when the product is accessed for the first time.
To prevent network eavesdropping, the root password can be set via an encrypted HTTPS connection, which requires an HTTPS
certificate. HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a protocol used to encrypt traffic between web browsers and servers. The
HTTPS certificate ensures encrypted exchange of information. See
HTTPS on page 43
.
The default administrator user name
root
is permanent and cannot be deleted. If the password for root is lost, the product must be
reset to the factory default settings. See
Reset to Factory Default Settings on page 54
.
To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it directly in the dialog.
To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, follow these steps:
1. Click
Use HTTPS
.
A temporary certificate (valid for one year) is created, enabling encryption of all traffic to and from the product, and the
password can now be set securely.
2. Enter a password and then re-enter it to confirm the spelling.
3. Click
OK
. The password has now been configured.
