Change admin account
- Aug 28, 2023
Hi SanYang ,
yes you can
( Go to system >>> Users >>> Choose " Michael "Account >>> in Role drop down list >>> Choose Administrator )
to do that you shoud login with the admin account or another account has the administrative rights.
Also you can disable the baisc system default admin account , but I don't prefer that
if you want to know the way to disable it let me know. - Aug 29, 2023
Hi SanYang ,
Create the new account first let we say ( Michael >>> Password "xyz@123" >> Role "Administrator ) and it's optional to allow CLI accress for this account you can enable advanced shell or tmsh.
After creating it ,
Logout and login again with your new account " Michael "
then
Go to ( System >>> Platform ) ,
then at admin Account field >>> Select disable default account , use alternate.
you have done it now.

Hi Mohamed_Ahmed_Kansoh ,
Thanks for your reply.
I want to know it.
Then, I mean I want to change the "admin" account name and I don't know if there is a way to do that.
