Changing Passwords
Change standard passwords
The standard passwords are documented in these instructions and therefore do
not offer adequate protection! Change the passwords to meet your particular
needs!
To increase security all passwords should contain a combination of lower case
letters (a … z), upper case letters (A … Z), numbers (0 … 9), spaces and special
characters: (]!"#$%&'()*+,./:;<=>?@[\^_`{|}~-). Passwords should not contain
generally known names, dates of birth and other information that is easy to
guess.
Change the standard passwords before commissioning the controller.
Standard passwords are issued for the user groups “WBM Users” and “Linux
