PiKVM comes with the following default passwords:
* **Linux admin** (SSH, etc.): user `root`, password `root`.
* **PiKVM Web Interface**: user `admin`, password `admin`, no 2FA code.
* **Linux admin** (SSH, console, etc.): user `root`, password `root`.
* **PiKVM Web Interface** ([API](api.md), [VNC](vnc.md)...): user `admin`, password `admin`, no 2FA code.
**These are two separate entities with independent accounts.**
To change passwords, you will need to use the terminal (read below) access via SSH or Web Terminal.
If you are using the Web Terminal, use the `su -` command to get root access (enter the root user password).
To change passwords, you will need to use the console access via SSH or the Web Terminal.
If you are using the Web Terminal, enter the `su -` command to get the `root` access (enter the `root` user password).
```console
[root@pikvm ~]# rw
[root@pikvm ~]# passwd root
[root@pikvm ~]# kvmd-htpasswd set admin
[root@pikvm ~]# ro
```
# rw
# passwd root
# kvmd-htpasswd set admin
# ro
```
If you require additional user for the Web UI access, use the following:
```
# kvmd-htpasswd set <user> # Set a new user with password or change of an existing one
# kvmd-htpasswd del <user> # Remove/delete a user
```console
[root@pikvm ~]# kvmd-htpasswd set <user> # Set a new user with password or change of an existing one
[root@pikvm ~]# kvmd-htpasswd del <user> # Remove/delete a user
```
**Optionally you can enable the [two-factor authentication](auth.md#two-factor-authentication) for more security.**

# Authentication
PiKVM OS is based on a regular Linux system, so everything about authorization in this OS is also true for PiKVM.
It comes with the following default passwords:
* **Linux admin** (SSH, console, etc.): user `root`, password `root`.
* **PiKVM Web Interface, [API](api.md), [VNC](vnc.md)...**: user `admin`, password `admin`, no 2FA code.
!!! note "PiKVM comes with the following default passwords"
**These are two separate entities with independent accounts.**
* **Linux admin** (SSH, console, etc.): user `root`, password `root`.
* **PiKVM Web Interface** ([API](api.md), [VNC](vnc.md)...): user `admin`, password `admin`, no 2FA code.
Also there is another special Linux user: `kvmd-webterm`.
It can't be used for login or remote access to PiKVM OS and has the non-privileged rights in the OS.
Password access and `sudo` is disabled for it. It is used only for launching the Web Terminal.
These restrictions are set for security reasons.

Sometimes the actual owner of a PiKVM device and the user who is allowed to use it are different people.
So you may want to disable console access from the Web UI. To do this, use the following:
