y Change admin password
Besides supporting the use of console management interface through the connection of null
modem, the system also supports the SSH online connection for the setup. When using a
null modem to connect to the system console, we do not need to enter administrator’s
password to enter the console management interface. But connecting the system by SSH,
we have to enter the username and password.
The username is “admin” and the default password is also “admin”, which is the same as for
the web management interface. Password can also be changed here. If administrators forget
the password and are unable to log in the management interface from the web or the remote
end of the SSH, they can still use the null modem to connect the console management
interface and set the administrator’s password again.
