Changing the Default Security Passwords

This document describes how to change the default security passwords that come with your Building Broadband Service Manager (BBSM) Hotspot server.

Caution For security reasons, we strongly recommend that you change these default passwords immediately. Failing to change them could compromise network security. Do not use any blank passwords. After you change the default passwords, verify that all of the latest service packs and security fixes are installed on the server.
