M4300 Intelligent Edge Series Fully Managed Stackable Switches Manage User Accounts and Passwords You can configure user accounts and login passwords. Configure User Accounts By default, two user accounts exist: • admin, with read/write privileges • guest, with read-only privileges The account names are not case-sensitive. The first time that you log in as an admin user to the local browser UI, no password is required (that is, the password is blank). As of software version 12.0.9.3, after you log in for the first time, you are required to specify a local device password that you must use each subsequent time that you log in. A guest user cannot log in until the admin user specifies a password for the guest user. If you log in as an admin user with read/write privileges, you can assign passwords and set security parameters for the default accounts and add and delete accounts (other than the admin account), up to a maximum of six accounts. As an admin user with read/write privileges you modify data on the local browser UI pages. To add a user account: 1. Launch a web browser. 2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch. The login window opens. 3. Enter admin as the user name, enter your local device password, and click the Login button. The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in. The System Information page displays. 4.
