    Hi,

     

    The default configuration deny admin access to console and ssh!

     

    The admin user is only allowed to access webui.

    Hi,

     

    You need to change the following configuration in the GUI:

     

    System ›› Users:User List -> Click in the admin username link

     

    Then change the configuration in Terminal Access to Advanced Shell.

     

    You always can restore a locked account using the Unlock button.
