Cisco TelePresence SX20 Quick Set Administrator Guide
Setting a root password
You can protect the file system of your video system by
setting a password for the root user.
The root user is disabled by default. You have to use the
command line interface to enable the root user and set a root
password.
Activate the root user and set the password
Perform the following steps to activate the root user and set a
password for it:
1. Connect to the system through the network or its serial
data port (if available) and open a command line interface
(SSH or Telnet).
2. Sign in to the system with user name and password. The
user needs ADMIN rights.
3. Type the following command:
systemtools rootsettings on <password>
The root password is not the same as the system
(admin) password.
