The Matrix is shipped password-protected. The factory configured passwords
for all accounts on this device have been set to the device serial number.
In the event of a complete system reset, the password converts to the default,
which is extron. New passwords must be configured to secure the device.
On password-protected connections, there are two levels of protection:
administrator and user. Administrators have full access to all switching
capabilities and editing functions. Users can create ties, recall presets, set
mutes, and view all settings with the exception of passwords.
