Root account
The VCS provides a root account which can be used to log in to the VCS operating system. This account has
a username of root (all lower case) and a default password of TANDBERG (all upper case). For security
reasons you must change the password as soon as possible. An alarm is displayed on the web interface and
the CLI if the root account has the default password set.
Note: the root account should not be used in normal operation, and in particular system configuration should
not be conducted using this account. Use the admin account instead.
Changing the root account password
To change the password for the root account:
1. Log in to the VCS as root. By default you can only do this using a serial connection or SSH.
2. Type passwd.
You will be asked for the new password.
