Secure passwords
Strong passwords are an important prerequisite for a secure system.
Beckhoff supplies the device images with standard user names and standard passwords for the operating
system. It is imperative that you change these.
Controllers are shipped without a password in the UEFI/BIOS setup. Beckhoff recommends assigning a
password here as well.
Please note the following:
• Passwords should be unique for each user and service.
• Only change passwords after an incident in which passwords have become known without
authorization.
• Train the device users in the use of passwords.
A secure password has the following characteristics:
• Password complexity: The password should contain capital and lower-case letters, numbers,
punctuation marks and special characters.
• Password length: The password should be at least 10 characters long.
