Changing the System Password Using Admin

Caution Do not use multiple Multi-Media databases.
Using multiple databases with different system passwords on the same system is confusing
and prone to operator error. A forgotten system password can prevent access to a unit,
even by technical support. Please manage your system password with care. For Admin's
report on the status of your system password, see
Always Update Security on All Units
When the system password is changed, perform a
security on each of the units in your Rapid Eye system. This prevents confusion and access
problems. For example, when touring many sites, the sites with a system password that
differs from the current system password will be skipped over.
Caution Do not leave an older system password on a Rapid Eye Multi-Media site
record or unit, in your CCTV system.
Extra Steps in Some System Password Scenarios
After your system is secured with a system password, a Multi SA may need to perform a few
extra steps when faced with these tasks:
• Mistakenly deleting a site definition. To re-enter it, see
• Adding a used Multi-Media unit. If you obtain a unit from another organization, and it
is protected by that organization's system password. See
page 190.
• Removing a system password from a single Multi-Media unit. This is useful when
disposing of a unit. See
• Replacing a Multi-Media unit. Should you need to replace a unit with a factory-issued
unit. See
Replacing a Unit
Caution When adding a brand new Multi-Media site to your Rapid Eye system, do not
use the LVP (last valid password) utility, even if you have a system password
set.
The LVP utility is for dealing with used or replacement Multi-Media units,
and for mistakenly deleted site definitions, as explained in
on page 190.
