About secure passwords
Important
When setting the initial password, the password is sent in clear text over the network. If there is a risk of network sniffing,
first set up a secure and encrypted HTTPS connection before resetting the passwords.
The device password is the primary protection for the data and services. Axis' devices do not impose a password policy as devices may
be used in various types of installations, but to protect your data do the following:
• Don't use the default password that comes with the devices.
• Use a password with at least 8 characters, preferably using a password generator.
• Don't expose the password.
• Change password at a recurring interval, at least once a year.
Set a password for the root account
Important
The default administrator user name root cannot be deleted. If the password for root is lost, the device must be reset to
the factory default settings.
The default root account has full privileges and should be reserved for administrative tasks. Always create a user account with limited
privileges for daily use. This reduces the exposure of the administrative account.
