Configuring the Logon Password

The guest only has read access for most configuration parameters.
However, the administrator has write access for all parameters governing
the onboard agent. You should therefore assign a new administrator
password as soon as possible, and store it in a safe place.
The default guest name is "guest" with the password "guest." The default
administrator name is "admin" with the password "admin." Note that user
names can only be assigned via the CLI.
