STEP 3: Set administrator and root passwords

Steps

  1. Type in and confirm a new password for the “admin” account. For security reasons, it is best practice to change the default password.
  2. Type in and confirm a new Root Password (mandatory). The root account provides full access to the device and should be used carefully.
    Note:

    To use the following special characters in a password, use the escape character \ before each instance when setting the password:

    ^ | > < * ? ! [ ] ~ ` ' " ; ( ) & # \ $

    For example, to set this password: Pas&word, enter

    Pas\&word in this field.
