Wizard step 1: Enter a new admin password and optionally change the username
The first step in setup with the wizard is to enter a new password for the
admin
user. The
admin
username can also be changed if required, as shown in the screenshot below.
The
Enforce Strong Passwords
option is present in cOS Core versions from 11.05 onwards. This is a
global setting that will enforce the listed strong passwords rules for all users in any local user
database in the configuration. If required, this option can be disabled later. However, it is
recommended to leave this option enabled, which means that the default
admin
password must
be changed to a conforming strong password before the wizard can move on to the next step.
Note that restoring cOS Core to factory defaults will restore the original
admin
/
admin
credential
combination for management access.
Wizard step 2: Set the date and time
Many cOS Core functions rely on an accurate date and time, so it is important that this is set
correctly in the fields shown below. The default time zone location is
ClavisterHQ
which means
the default location and time zone will be Stockholm. If this is not correct it should be changed
to another location and timezone using the drop-down list.
