Set Administrator Password
Create a new password for the administrator account. This account has full access to all settings and areas
in the graphical user interface. You can optionally change the username of the administrative account for
enhanced security.
When the administrator password is set for the first time, the root password for the system will also be set
to this password. The root password is required to log in to the console user interface. See “Console
Login” in this chapter for a description of how to do this. However, once you have set the initial root
password, future changes to the administrator password will not change the appliance’s root password.
See “Resetting the Root Password” in the Administrator’s Tasks chapter for details on resetting the
appliance’s root password.
You can provide an email address for the administrator. While this step is optional, it is recommended that
you do provide an email address, as the appliance sends notification emails to this address for various
system events.
Set System Hostname
To change the system hostname, choose Administrator > Network Setup > System Hostname.
Changing the username of the administrative account does not change the username for logging in to the console
user interface. You must use a secure administrator password. By default, the password must be at least eight
characters in length and must contain at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one digit and one
symbol.
