Password protection
The system is password protected in the following ways:
• The Administrator settings menu can be password
protected with a menu password.
• The Codec is password protected. You always need to
enter a username to log in.
The same username and password is used for the web and
command line interfaces.
You can also congure the codec to prompt for a PIN-code
before accessing all the on screen menus.
» The default username is admin with no password set.
NOTE: We recommend that you set a password for the
admin user - see how to Change your codec password
to the right.
» New user accounts with username and password/PIN-
code can be created using the web interface.
Read more about user rights and how to add, edit
and delete a user account in the
User management
section.
• You can protect the File system of the codec by setting a
password for the root user. The root user is disabled by
default.
NOTE: When a new administrator password has been dened
make sure you keep a copy of the password in a safe place.
