Temporary Password

In the high security mode, a password, tentatively assigned by an administrator to allow a user access, is treated as a
temporary one. To use the equipment, you need to register your password after accessing it with the temporary one.
The security level is insufficient if you continue to use the temporary password. Register your password as soon as
possible.
 Conditions when a temporary password is used
A user temporary password is used in the following cases:
 For the first time to log in to the equipment after being registered by an administrator.
 When an administrator resets the user's password.
 When the user information password imported by an administrator is plain text.
When an administrator resets users' passwords, they must be so notified and prompted to change them to ones of
their own choosing.
To prevent user information exported from an equipment from being altered, it is hashed. If you change the password
for the exported user information, plain text is used for the password.
 Operation by a user when a temporary password is used
If your password can be registered when accessing.
When you access the equipment from the control panel or the following utilities, you can immediately register your
password. After the registration, you can use the functions for which you have the privilege.
 Control panel
 TopAccess
When you access the equipment with a temporary password from the control panel or TopAccess, a message indicating
that you are using a temporary password is displayed. After the confirmation, a window to register your new password is
displayed. Enter a new password in this window, do so again for confirmation, and then press [OK] (control panel) or
[Save] (TopAccess) to register it. You can log in to the equipment with this registered password from the next time.
If you cannot register a new password when accessing the equipment.

new password cannot be registered either. Before using these utilities, register a new password on the control panel or in
