Setting the “admin” account password
The default administrator account, named admin, initially has no password.
Unlike other administrator accounts, the admin administrator account exists by default and cannot be deleted. This administrator account always has full permission to view and change all FortiRecorder configuration options, including viewing and changing all other administrator accounts. Its name and permissions cannot be changed.
| For security reasons, you must set a password for the admin account after you log on to FortiRecorder. Set a strong password for the admin administrator account, and change the password regularly. |
To change the admin administrator password
1. Log in to the admin administrator account.
2. Go to System > Administrator > Administrator.
3. Change the password and log out.
The new password takes effect the next time that administrator account logs in.
