Cisco Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server Expressway

Getting started 

By default (on system initialization) a single Administrator account is defined in the system. It is 
recommended that the default admin password is changed (from TANDBERG). 

To change the administrator user password: 
1.  Go to the Administrator accounts page (Maintenance > Login accounts > Administrator 

accounts). 

2. Select 

the 

admin account. 

3.  Enter and confirm the new admin account password for the Cisco VCS. 

4. Click 

Save. 

Note: The password strength (security level) of the entered password string is displayed. The 
strength is based on the variation of characters in the string, especially by the inclusion of non-
alphanumeric characters such as $%^&. 

The best password strength is given for passwords which contain character combinations of at least 
two lower case letters (a-z), two upper case letters (A-Z), two digits (0-9), two non-alphanumeric 
characters (i.e. !”£$%^&*) and which are the maximum length (14 characters). 

Refer to the “System administration access” section of the Cisco VCS Administrator Guide for more 
details regarding Administration access.
