??? note "Changing PiKVM Passwords"
|
|
PiKVM comes with the following default passwords:
|
|
|
|
* **Linux OS-level admin** (SSH, console...):
|
|
* Username: `root`
|
|
* Password: `root`
|
|
|
|
* **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).
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
[root@pikvm ~]# rw
|
|
[root@pikvm ~]# passwd root
|
|
[root@pikvm ~]# kvmd-htpasswd set admin
|
|
[root@pikvm ~]# ro
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you require additional user for the Web UI access, use the following:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
[root@pikvm ~]# kvmd-htpasswd add <user> # Add a new user with password
|
|
[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.**
|
|
|
|
*Changing the [VNCAuth key](vnc.md) and [IPMI password](ipmi.md) at the first start of PiKVM is not required,
|
|
since these services are disabled by default. But it is here just so that you remember their existence.*
