Password Protection - D-Link xStack DES-3800 Series User Manual

NOTE: The first user automatically gets Administrator level privileges. It is
recommended to create at least one Admin-level user account for the
Switch.

Password Protection

The Switch does not have a default user name and password. One of the first tasks when settings up
the Switch is to create user accounts. If you log in using a predefined administrator-level user name,
you have privileged access to the Switch's management software.
After your initial login, define new passwords for both default user names to prevent unauthorized
access to the Switch, and record the passwords for future reference.
To create an administrator-level account for the Switch, do the following:
At the CLI login prompt, enter create account admin followed by the <user name> and press
•
the Enter key.
You will be asked to provide a password. Type the <password> used for the administrator
•
account being created and press the Enter key.
You will be prompted to enter the same password again to verify it. Type the same password
•
and press the Enter key.
Successful creation of the new administrator account will be verified by a Success message.
