Cisco TelePresence SX80

Introduction

Change the system passphrase

You need to know the system passphrase in order to:
• Sign in to the web interface
• Sign in and use the command line interfaces
• Access the Administrator settings from a Touch controller
The default user account
The video system is delivered with a default user account with
full access rights. The user name is admin, and initially, no
passphrase is set.
It is mandatory to set a passphrase for the default admin
user in order to restrict access to system configuration. It
is also mandatory to set a passphrase for any other user
with ADMIN rights.
Keep a copy of the passphrase in a safe place. You have
to factory reset the unit if you forget the passphrase.
A warning, saying that the system passphrase is not set, is shown
on screen until a passphrase is set for the admin user.
Other user accounts
You can create many user accounts for the video system.
Read more about how to create and manage user accounts in the
► User administration chapter.
