Set a Password for the NBA Console User

You use the admin and webadmin user accounts to log onto the NBA console. You also use the admin account to access the NBA FTP folder from your computer. You must choose a more secure password for these accounts before you start using the NBA.

• On Bivio 2000 appliances, the default username and password are both ‘admin’.
• On Bivio 7000 appliances, they are both ‘webadmin’.

Note: For Bivio 2000 appliances, the ‘admin’ user (see step 4 below) is an alternative name for the NBA console user. Both refer to the same user account. Likewise, for Bivio 7000 appliances, the ‘webadmin’ user (see step 5) is an alternative name for the NBA console user.
