Securing access

Setting a backup password

The Backup Password allows Embedded Web Server administrators to access security menus regardless of the type
of security assigned. A backup password can be helpful if other security measures become unavailable, for example,
if there is a network communication problem, or an authentication server fails.
Note: In some organizations, security policies prohibit the use of "back door" measures such as a backup password.
Consult your organization's policies before deploying any security method that might compromise those policies.
To create a backup password

From the Embedded Web Server Home screen, browse to Settings ª Security ª Edit Security Setups.
2
Under Edit Backup Password, select Backup Password.
3
