Setting the system password
The system password protects the video system. You have
to sign in to be able to use the web and command line
interfaces, and to get access to the Administrator settings
from a Touch 8 control panel.
The
admin
user
The video system is delivered with a default user account
with full credentials. The user name is
admin
, and initially, no
password is set for the default user.
We strongly recommend that you set a password
for the
admin
user in order to restrict access to
system configuration.
Also set a password for any
other user with similar credentials.
Make sure to keep a copy of the password in a safe
place. You have to factory reset the unit if you have
forgotten the password.
A warning, saying that the system password is not set, is
shown on screen until a password is set for the
admin
user.
About access to administrator settings when using a
remote control and the on-screen menu
Note that the on-screen Administrator Settings menu that is
available when using a remote control, is NOT protected by
the system password; you have to set a menu password (see
next page).
Other user accounts
You can create as many user accounts as you like for your
video system.
You can read more about how to create and manage user
accounts in the
section.
