Checking the validity of passwords

Changing the default password

After the admin has created a user account with password, you must change the default password. If you do not change the default password, you will receive appropriate warnings.

Password expiration

If a password is about to expire or has already expired, appropriate warnings are displayed.

    for example: https://192.168.1.10/wbm.
