a member of the certadmin group. To separate the Certificate Administrator user role from
the Administrator user role, the Administrator user can add a new user account to the
system, assign the new user to the certadmin group, and then remove himself or herself

• Boot user can only perform a reinstallation. For security reasons, it is only possible to log
in as the Boot user through the console port using terminal emulation software. The Boot
user password cannot be changed from the default ForgetMe.
• Root user is granted full access to the underlying Linux operating system. For security
reasons, it is only possible to log in as the Root user through the console port using
terminal emulation software. Root user access should mainly be reserved for advanced
troubleshooting purposes, under guidance from Avaya customer support.

on page 16.
Access to the AVG command line interface and settings is controlled through the use of four
predefined user accounts and passwords. Once you are connected to the VPN Gateway
through a console connection or remote connection (Telnet or SSH), you are prompted to enter
a user account name and the corresponding password. The default user accounts and
passwords for each access level are listed in
Table 4: User Access Levels
on page 127.
Note:
The default Administrator user password can be changed during the initial configuration. For
the Operator user, the Boot user, and the Root user however, the default passwords are
used even after the initial configuration. It is therefore recommended that you change the
default AVG passwords soon after the initial configuration, and as regularly as required
under your network security policies.
