With SINAMICS S120, both user accounts "SINAMICS" and "Administrator" have been
predefined and cannot be changed.
You can make the following settings in the user accounts:
● Changing the Administrator password.
● Enabling or locking the "SINAMICS" user.
● Assigning the password for the "SINAMICS" user.
● Changing or deleting the password for a "SINAMICS" user.
Password requirements
To protect against unauthorized access, by an attacker, for example, generate a secure
password that consists of:
● At least 8 characters
● Uppercase and lowercase letters
● Numbers and special characters (e. g. ?!%+ etc.)
● Different passwords for different types of access (administrator / user)
Checking the password
The length of the password is checked by the converter. There is no check for uppercase and
lowercase letters and special characters!
Remember the passwords or store the passwords in a safe place that cannot be accessed by
unauthorized persons.
Changing the password
Proceed as follows to configure the user accounts for the web server:
