Change the ACC ES HD Recorder Administrator Password
You can only change the password, not the default administrator username for Server Management.
1. On the navigation bar, click Device.
2. On the General panel locate the Password pane.
3. Enter your current password in the Old Password field.
4. Enter your new password in the New Password and Confirm Password fields.
A complex password is recommended.
Remember to save the password in a secure format and location either physically or digitally so that it can
be retrieved if the password is forgotten, and discard the record of the previous password.
CAUTION — You will lose recorded video and configuration data if you forget your
password. To reset the administrator password, you must reset the device to the factory
default settings. This will also format the hard drives and delete the configuration data and
recorded video. For more information on performing a factory restore, see Restoring
Factory Default Settings on page28.
