To create a new password for the administrator account:
1. (Optional) For enhanced security, you may choose to change the Operator Username of the
administrative account. Changing the username of the administrator account does not change the
username for logging in to the console user interface.
2. In the Operator Password field, enter the new password. Passwords must be at least eight characters
