Setting and Changing User Passwords

By default, admin, operator and viewer have no assigned passwords. Both the admin and the operator user

have access to the web admin interface, so you should always set a password for both admin and operator

accounts. Refer to your system administrator for your organization’s specific password requirements.

In addition to setting global passwords for viewers, you can also set access passwords and IP restrictions on a

per-channel basis from the channel's Streaming page. See

Restrict access to streams for viewersRestrict

Viewers by IP Address

.

Passwords are case sensitive and can use all alpha-numeric keys in the ASCII range. Your password can be up

to 255 characters long, but should not include any spaces.

Setting a user’s password causes the user to be logged out. Be ready to log back in with the new

admin password or have operators and viewers log in with the appropriate new password. Viewers

may need to refresh their browser window or press play in their media player.

If you lose the admin password, refer to the section

Overcoming Lost Passwords

.

To set a user password:

 1. Connect to the admin interface using your preferred connection mechanism. See

Connect to the Admin

Interface

.

 2. Login as admin.
