Checking the validity of passwords
Changing the default password
After the admin has created a user account with password, you must change the default password. If you do not change the default password, you will receive appropriate warnings.
You can change the user password on the Device maintenance page (System → Device maintenance) in the WBM.
Password expiration
If a password is about to expire or has already expired, appropriate warnings are displayed.
