Temporary Password

In the high security mode, a password, tentatively assigned by an administrator to allow a user access, is
treated as a temporary one. To use the equipment, you need to register your password after accessing it with
the temporary one.
The security level is insufficient if you continue to use the temporary password. Register your password as
soon as possible.
 Conditions when a temporary password is used
A user temporary password is used in the following cases:
 For the first time to log in to the equipment after being registered by an administrator.
 When an administrator resets the user's password.

When an administrator resets users' passwords, they must be so notified and prompted to change them to
ones of their own choosing.
To prevent user information exported from an equipment from being altered, it is hashed. If you change the
password for the exported user information, plain text is used for the password.
