Setting the "admin" account password

In its factory default configuration, FortiRecorder has one user account, named admin. This account has administrator permissions that grant full rights to the FortiRecorder appliance's settings and features—including to reset the password for other administrators. Its name and permissions cannot be changed.

In factory default configuration, for initial connection during setup, admin has no password.

Set a strong password for the account named admin when you log in for the first time. Change the password regularly. If you don't, unauthorized persons could log into FortiRecorder and compromise security.

If multiple people will use FortiRecorder, configure separate accounts for each person later, once setup is complete. See Configuring user and administrator accounts.

To change the "admin" administrator password

Log in to the admin administrator account.
Go to System > Administrator > Administrator.
Double-click the row for admin, or select it and then click the Edit button.
Click Change Password and enter the new password.
Log out.

The new password takes effect the next time that you log in.
