Removing User Passwords
If you want to remove passwords for one or more user accounts, you may do so via the web interface. If you
don’t remember the admin password, refer to the section Overcoming Lost Passwords.
Note that viewer passwords can be set on a per-channel basis.
Clearing a user’s password will cause that user to be logged out. Be ready to log back in with the
new admin password. If viewers are watching the broadcast when the viewer password is cleared
they will be logged out. Viewers may need to refresh their browser window or press play in their
media player to trigger the login prompt.
To clear a user’s password:
1. Connect to the admin interface using your preferred connection mechanism. See Connect to the Admin
Interface .
2. Login as admin.
