Logging Into the ETKMS
To configure the ETKMS, you must connect the monitor, keyboard, and mouse and log into the server
directly.
The ETKMS has two default user accounts, admin and root. The default password for the admin account
is admin. The default password for the root user is password. You can use the admin account to log into
the ETKMS remotely using SSH for troubleshooting and management purposes. The root user can only
log into the ETKMS directly. You must log in as root to configure the ETKMS.
To maintain the security of your system and networks, it is strongly recommended that you change the
default admin password and the default root password as one of your first tasks, and periodically after
that.
To log into the ETKMS:
1 At the login prompt, enter a user name and press Enter.
2 At the Password prompt, enter the password and press Enter.
