Administrator Password
For security reasons, only the Administrator (the administration user
named root) can initially log into your gateway; only those people who
know the root password can access and reconfigure the ECS0016 gate-
way itself.
As such, it is important that you enter and confirm a new password before
giving the ECS0016 any access to, or control of, your computers and
network appliances. To do so:
Select 1. System: Administration
Enter a new System Password then re-enter it in the field marked 2.
confirm System Password. This is the new password for root, the main
administrative user account, so it is important that you choose a
complex password, and keep it safe.
(Optional)At this stage you may also wish to enter a 3. System Name
and System Description for the ECS0016 gateway to give it a unique
ID and make it simple to identify.
Click 4. Apply. As you have changed the password you will be prompted
to log in again. This time use the new password.
