Set the password

To gain access to the product, the password for the default administrator user root must be set. This
is done in the 'Configure Root Password' dialog, which is displayed when the network camera is
accessed for the first time.
To prevent network eavesdropping when setting the root password, this can be done via an
encrypted HTTPS connection, which requires an HTTPS certificate.
Note: HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a protocol used to encrypt the traffic
between web browsers and servers. The HTTPS certificate controls the encrypted exchange of
information.
To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it directly in the first dialog shown
below.
To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, follow these steps:
1. Click the Create self-signed certificate button.
2. Provide the requested information and click OK. The certificate is created and the password can
now be set securely. All traffic to and from the network camera is encrypted from this point on.
3. Enter a password and then re-enter it to confirm the spelling. Click OK. The password has now
been configured.
To configure the password directly
via an unencrypted connection, enter
the password here.
4. To log in, enter the user name "root" in the dialog as requested.
Note: The default administrator user name root cannot be deleted.
5. Enter the password as set above, and click OK.
Note: If the password is lost, the camera must be reset to the factory default settings. See page 21.
