4.2.9 Change passwords

The information in this section refers to password security. For information on how to set the password for the first time or
change CyberSentry passwords, see the previous chapter or the Settings > Product Setup > Security > CyberSentry section
in the next chapter.
The B90 supports password entry from a local or remote connection.
Local access is defined as access to settings or commands via the faceplate. This includes both keypad entry and the
RS232 port. Remote access is defined as access to settings or commands via any rear communications port. This includes
both Ethernet and RS485 connections. Any change to the local or remote password enables this functionality.
When entering a settings or command password via EnerVista or any serial interface, the user must enter the
corresponding connection password. If the connection is to the back of the B90, the remote password must be used. If the
connection is to the RS232 port of the faceplate, the local password must be used.
There are two user security access levels, setting and command, for which you can set a password for each. Use of a
password for each level controls whether users can enter commands or change settings. Another option is to specify
setting and/or command access for individual user accounts.
• Setting — Allows the user to make any changes to any of the setting values:
– Changing any setting

• Command — Restricts the user from making any settings changes, but allows the user to perform the following
operations:
– Changing the state of virtual inputs
– Clearing the event records
– Clearing the oscillography records
– Changing the date and time
– Clearing the data logger
