PiKVM 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.
* **Linux OS-level admin** (SSH, console...):
* Username: `root`
* Password: `root`
**These are two separate entities with independent accounts.**
* **KVM user** (Web Interface, [API](api.md), [VNC](vnc.md)...):
* Username: `admin`
* Password: `admin`
* No 2FA code
**They are two separate accounts with independent passwords.**
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).
