Logging In To The System Console Of Your Server And Changing The Default Password - Vidyo VidyoGateway Administrator's Manual

3. Configuring Your Server
Logging in to the System Console of Your Server and
Changing the Default Password
The very first time you log into your VidyoGateway server, you are required to change the default
System Console password to one that is more secure. This System Console account is also the
same one used when accessing the VidyoGateway Admin Portal.
To log in to the System Console (also referred to as the Admin Console) and change the default
password:
1. Connect a keyboard and a VGA display directly to your server.
2. Log in using the default Administrator account:
User Name: admin
Password: password (case sensitive)
At the "login" prompt, enter admin.
3.
4. At the "(current) UNIX Password" prompt, enter password.
The password is case sensitive. You'll be prompted to enter a new password and asked to
enter it again.
5. At the "Password" prompt, type a new password.
When selecting a new password, follow these guidelines:
 The password should not be too similar to the old password.
The default setting is at least three characters should be different from the old
password.
 The password should not be too simple or too short.
The algorithm here is a point system to satisfy the min password length (the default is
length eight characters). The password gets extra points if it contains number, upper
case, lower case, or special character. Each point is equivalent to one character.
 The password should not be a case change only of the old password or should not be
the reverse of the old password.
