Note: The predefined administrator account, 'admin', has the Administrator role. The predefined user account, 'user', has the IT Operator role. You can modify the two predefined user accounts, admin and user, by changing the name and the password, for example. Only limited modifications are enabled for the ‘Administrator’ role. We recommend changing the default passwords for better security.
