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

confirm

System Password. This is the new password for root, the main

administrative user account, so it is important that you choose a

System Name

and

System Description for the ECS0016 gateway to give it a unique

ID and make it simple to identify.

Click

Apply. As you have changed the password you will be prompted

to log in again. This time use the new password.
