6.5.1 Configuring User Accounts
The guest only has read access for most configuration parameters. However,
the administrator has write access for all parameters governing the onboard
agent. Therefore assign a new administrator password as soon as possible, and
store it in a safe place.
The default guest name is “guest” with the password “guest.” The default
administrator name is “admin” with the password “admin.”
