Set The Password - Axis M1011 Installation Manual

AXIS M1011/M1011-W/M1031-W Installation Guide

Set the password

To gain access to the product, the password for the default administrator user root must be set. This
is done in the 'Configure Root Password' dialog, which is displayed when the AXIS M1011/M1011-
W/M1031-W is accessed for the first time.
To prevent network eavesdropping when setting the root password, this can be done via an
encrypted HTTPS connection, which requires an HTTPS certificate (see note below).
To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it directly in the first dialog shown
below.
To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, follow these steps:
1. Click the Create self-signed certificate button.
2. Provide the requested information and click OK. The certificate is created and the password can
now be set securely. All traffic to and from the AXIS M1011/M1011-W/M1031-W is encrypted
from this point on.
3. Enter a password and then re-enter it to confirm the spelling. Click OK. The password has now
been configured.
To configure the password directly
via an unencrypted connection, enter
the password here.
4. To log in, enter the user name "root" in the dialog as requested
Note: The default administrator user name root cannot be deleted.
5. Enter the password as set above, and click OK.
