Change the administrative password
The default user account is the administrative account, which provides complete access to all features
of the Citrix ADC appliance. Therefore, to preserve security, the administrative account should be used
only when necessary, and only individuals whose duties require full access should know the password
for the administrative account. The default administrative username and password are nsroot and
nsroot, respectively. Citrix recommends changing the administrative password frequently.
