Remove user passwords
You can remove passwords for one or more of the user levels using the Admin panel. If you don’t remember
the admin password, refer to the section
. Note that viewer passwords can be set on
a per-channel basis.
Clearing a user’s password will cause that user to be logged out. Be ready to log back in with the
new admin password. If viewers are watching the broadcast when the viewer password is cleared
they will be logged out. Viewers may need to refresh their browser window or press play in their
media player to trigger the login prompt.
