Root Login - Digi PortServer II User Manual

Root Login

root is provided as the only user when PortServer II is shipped. A default password
of dbps is provided for the root user (see Chapter 4, Basic Configuration). The root
login must always be present, and must always have a password. It is not possible to
remove the root user entry, or delete the root user password.
However, for additional security, you can change the root password:
1. Log in as root at any terminal or PC, using the default password.
2. Enter the command:
newpass user=root
3. Type in the current password and press Enter. The password is not displayed on
the screen, but a request to enter the new password again should appear.
4. Type in the new password in exactly the same format and case as you entered in
Step 3. If the two passwords match, the login is changed.
