Set The Password - Axis M3011 Installation Manual

AXIS M3011/M3014 Installation Guide

Set the password

To gain access to the product, the password for the default administrator user root must be set. This
is done in the 'Configure Root Password' dialog, which is displayed when the network camera is
accessed for the first time.
To prevent network eavesdropping when setting the root password, this can be done via an
encrypted HTTPS connection, which requires an HTTPS certificate (see note below).
To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it in the Configure Root Password
window.
To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, follow these steps:
1. Click the Create self-signed certificate button.
2. Provide the requested information and click OK. The certificate is created and the password can
now be set securely. All traffic to and from the AXIS M3011/M3014 Network Camera is
encrypted from this point on.
3. Enter a password and then re-enter it to confirm the spelling. Click OK. The password has now
been configured.
To configure the password directly
via an unencrypted connection, enter
the password here.
4. To log in, enter the user name "root" in the dialog as requested. (The default administrator user
name root cannot be deleted.)
5. Enter the password as set above, and click OK. If the password is lost, the AXIS M3011/M3014
must be reset to the factory default settings. See page 13.
6. If required, click Yes to install AMC (AXIS Media Control), which allows viewing of the video
stream in Internet Explorer. You will need administrator rights on the computer to do this.
7. The Live View page of the AXIS M3011/M3014 is displayed. The Setup link gives you menu
options that allow you to customize the camera.
To create an HTTPS connection, start
by clicking this button.
