• Add, edit, or delete names and passwords for up to
4 Tissue-Tek Xpress x120 system Administrators

Passwords determine the features and functions avail-
able to Tissue-Tek Xpress x120 users. Operator pass-
words limit access to routine operations of the system.
Administrator passwords allow access to all system
functions and user-programmable features.
NOTE: A default Administrator’s name “ADMIN 1” and
password “100000” are provided to allow access to setup
functions for initial configuration of the system. The default
password should be replaced with a unique password to
prevent unauthorized access to the system.
