Administrator Password
For security reasons, only the Administrator (the administration user 
named root) can initially log into your gateway; only those people who 
know the root password can access and reconfigure the ECS0016 gate-
way itself.   
As such, it is important that you enter and confirm a new password before 
giving the ECS0016 any access to, or control of, your computers and 
network appliances.  To do so:
Select 
1. 
System: Administration
Enter a new System Password then re-enter it in the field marked  
2. 
  confirm 
System Password. This is the new password for root, the main  
  administrative user account, so it is important that you choose a  
  complex password, and keep it safe. 
(Optional)At this stage you may also wish to enter a 
3. 
System Name  
  and 
System Description for the ECS0016 gateway to give it a unique  
  ID and make it simple to identify.
Click 
4. 
Apply. As you have changed the password you will be prompted  
  to log in again. This time use the new password.
