Changing the Default Password
Caution
For security purposes, Haivision strongly advises you to change the default passwords during initial configuration.
Note
haiadmin
is a special system user intended primarily for initial setup and system troubleshooting. It is not intended for regular use because it has unrestricted access privileges that cannot be changed. For day-to-day system control and administration, we strongly advise you to create a regular administrative user with a secure password. See Creating a New Admin User.
To change the password for the current user:
- Click the user name (e.g., Administrator) on the toolbar.
- On the Change User Password dialog, type your current password in the Current Password field.
- Type the new password in the New Password field and again in the Retype Password field.
- Click Save User.
The password change takes effect immediately.
