Basic NVR configuration
Either to integrate the FortiRecorder NVR into your existing network or to set it up in its
dedicated, private network, you must configure the following settings to have the appliance up
and running:
• Setting the “admin” account password
• Configuring the network settings
• Configuring the DHCP server
• Setting the system time
Setting the “admin” account password
The default administrator account, named admin, initially has no password.
Unlike other administrator accounts, the admin administrator account exists by default and
cannot be deleted. This administrator account always has full permission to view and change all
FortiRecorder configuration options, including viewing and changing all other administrator
accounts. Its name and permissions cannot be changed.
To change the admin administrator password
1. Log in to the admin administrator account.
2. Go to System > Administrator > Administrator.
3. Change the password and log out.
The new password takes effect the next time that administrator account logs in.

For security reasons, you must set a password for the admin account after you log on to
FortiRecorder. Set a strong password for the admin administrator account, and change the
password regularly.
