3.2 Setting the Password
Switch to Password tab to set up the password.
The default system user is root. Root can enable or disable user levels of administrator
and operator, and set the passwords for root, administrator and operator. Before accessing
certain configuration screens, the system will ask for the User ID and Password when either
administrator or operator authorization is enabled.
A. Change root password
The default password of root is “123456”.
Password change of root is highly
recommended after you finish setting the whole DVR system. If you do not set passwords
and enable the administrator and operator, there will be no password security and users will
have unrestricted access to the system configurations. However, this is recommended only
after initial configurations to avoid having to always enter the passwords when entering and
exiting configuration screens.
