4.11.2 Configuring User Accounts

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."
