About secure passwords

Important
Axis devices send the initially set password in clear text over the network. To protect your device, set up a secure and
encrypted HTTPS connection and then change the password.
The device password is the primary protection for the data and services. Axis devices do not impose a password policy as they may be
used in various types of installations. To protect your data we recommend that you:
• Change the default password that comes with the devices.
• Use a password with at least 8 characters, preferably created by a password generator.
• Don't expose the password.
• Change password at a recurring interval, at least once a year.
Set a secure 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.
1. Make sure to follow the instructions about secure passwords. See About secure passwords on page 6 .
2. Type a password and then retype it to confirm the spelling.
3. Click Create login. The password has now been configured.
