Set the password

To gain access to the product, the password for the default administrator user root must be set. This

is done in the ‘Configure Root Password’ dialog, which is displayed when the AXIS Q7414 is

accessed for the first time.

To prevent network eavesdropping when setting the root password, this can be done via an

encrypted HTTPS connection, which requires an HTTPS certificate.

Note: HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a protocol used to encrypt the traffic between web

browsers and servers. The HTTPS certificate controls the encrypted exchange of information.

To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it directly in the first dialog shown

below.

To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, follow these steps:

1. Click the Create self-signed certificate button.

2. Provide the requested information and click OK. The certificate is created and the password can

now be set securely. All traffic to and from the AXIS Q7414 is encrypted from this point on.

3. Enter a password and then re-enter it to confirm the spelling. Click OK. The password has now

been configured.

4. To log in, enter the user name “root” in the dialog as requested.

Note: The default administrator user name root cannot be deleted.

5. Enter the password as set above, and click OK. If the password is lost, the AXIS Q7414 must be

reset to the factory default settings. See page 18.

To configure the password directly via an

unencrypted connection, enter the

password here.

To create an HTTPS connection,

start by clicking this button.
