Setting the system password
The system password protects the video system. You have to
sign in to be able to use the web interface, and to get access
to the Administrator settings from a Touch 8 controller.
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.
It is mandatory to 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.
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 ► User administration section.
