The Administrator account
The Firebox X Edge has a built-in administrator account that cannot
be deleted. You can, however, change some of the administrator
account’s settings. On the Firebox Users page, click the icon in the
Edit column of the administrator account.
For descriptions of the fields, see the previous section, “Adding a
New User.”
Make sure you record the administrator name and password in a safe
location. These are required to access the configuration pages. If the
system administrator name and password are unknown or you have
forgotten them, you must reset the Firebox to the factory default
settings. For more information, see “Resetting the Firebox to the
factory default settings” on page 40.
WatchGuard recommends that you change the administrator pass-
word every month. Select a combination of eight letters, numbers,
and symbols. Do not use an English or foreign word. Use at least
one special symbol, a number, and a mixture of upper case and
lower case letters for increased security.

computer on the trusted interface and a computer on the external
interface. The Firebox releases the session when:
• the session reaches the idle timeout limit;
• the session reaches the maximum time limit;
