Dell PowerConnect 3424 User Manual page 68

NOTE:
When creating a user name, the default priority is 1, which allows access but not configuration
rights. A priority of 15 must be set to enable access and configuration rights to the device. Although user
names can be assigned privilege level 15 without a password, it is recommended to always assign a
password. If there is no specified password, privileged users can access the Web interface with
any password.
NOTE:
Passwords can be secured by using password management commands to force aging-out of
passwords, or expiration of passwords. For more information, see "Security Management and Password
Configuration".
