Change Password
To ensure the controlled and secured access to reader Administrator Console functions, designate which users
and computers are authorized to have system access by setting up authorized user accounts. Only users
logging in with a registered user name and password can successfully access
Administrator Console functions.
FX7500 User Accounts
The FX7500 supports the different user accounts:
•
admin - This user has web access but no shell access, with full privileges to make changes on the
reader using the Administrator Console interface and to access to the reader using the FTP interface.
•
guest - This user has web access but no shell access, with read-only privileges in the Administrator
Console and can not make configuration changes. The guest user does not need a password to log in to
the Administrator Console.
•
rfidadm - This is the reader administrator, with shell access but no Administrator Console access.
rfidadm has full access to the /apps directory and read-only access to most of the other directories,
including the /platform, /usr, /lib, /etc, and /bin directories. The rfidadm user can use this account to
install and uninstall RFID programs and upload user applications.
