Password protection

The system is password protected in the following ways:
•
The Administrator settings menu can be password
protected with a menu password.
•
The Codec is password protected. You always need to
enter a username to log in.
The same username and password is used for the web and
command line interfaces.
You can also configure the codec to prompt for a PIN-code
before accessing all the on screen menus.
»
The default username is admin with no password set.
NOTE: We recommend that you set a password for the
admin user - see how to

Change your codec password

to the right.
»
New user accounts with username and password/PIN-
code can be created using the web interface.
Read more about how to create users with passwords
and PIN codes in the Administrator guide for your
product.
•
You can protect the File system of the codec by setting a
password for the root user. The root user is disabled by
default.
NOTE: When a new administrator password has been defined
make sure you keep a copy of the password in a safe place.
Contact your Cisco representative if you have forgotten the
password.
