For security purposes, be sure to change the default password!

You can change your password from the Accounts page.

   The Accounts page opens. (The following example shows the Security privileges for the Operator role). 
   

   

2. Type your current password in the Current Password field.
3. Type the new password in the New Password field and again in the Confirm New Password field.
4. Click Apply. The new password will take effect immediately.

Basically, all printable characters of the QWERTY keyboard are supported.

Your system may have in place security policies that determine the minimum password length as well as other requirements such as minimum number of upper case characters, digits, and symbols. In this case, you will be prompted to modify your password to comply with these policies.
