Changing video unit passwords - Security Center 5.11

For the security of your system, you should always change the unit password after enrolling them. For certain models of your video units, you can change their passwords directly from Config Tool.

1. From the Config Tool homepage, open the Video task and click the Roles and units view.
2. Select the video unit you want and click the Properties tab.
3. In the Authentication section, if the Change unit password button is disabled and its tooltip reads Not supported, you must change the password on the unit itself.
   
   1. At the bottom of the screen, click Unit > Unit's web page.
   2. Log on to the unit's web page and change its password.
   3. Return to Config Tool, update the Password field, and click Apply.
   If the tooltip indicates another cause, fix the problem and try again.
4. If the Change unit password button is enabled, click it.
   
5. In the Change unit password dialog box, do one of the following:
   • (Recommended) Click for the system to generate a secure password.
   • Enter the password manually, twice. The password must comply with the password policies that are displayed. Ensure that the password strength gauge indicates at least Strong.
   
6. Click Update password.
   If the update is successful, you would see Password changed.

   
7. If the password is rejected, log on to the unit's web page to learn about its password policies and try again.
   Password policies are defined by manufacturers. Some manufacturers enforce more rules than the ones displayed in the dialog box. For example, some manufacturers do not accept four consecutive ASCII characters, such as "1234" or "abcd", nor a string of four or more identical characters, such as "!!!!" or "aaaa".
