Feb 15, 2023change default admin user name on F5
Is it possible to change the default admin name on F5? Can someone help me with the steps and precautions before changing the credentials?

mknighted You cannot change the username for the two default users which are "root" and "admin" but you can change the passwords. If you do not want to use the default "admin" user you can create another local administrator level user but you can't disable the admin or the root users. It is possible to lock out the admin user by entering the incorrect password multiple times but that technically doesn't disable it.

Dec 22, 2004Thanks Joe and Raja for the responses.
I tried the rule by Rapmaster_c, but it doesn't do exactly as I would expect.
If I type in http://192.168.150.225/webcentral/customer1, it returns a value of http://192.168.150.225/archibus to my webbrowser and I am NOT redirected to a webpool. The webpool consists of Tomcat servers, and the 404 error is not from the Tomcat server. If I type in http://192.168.150.225/customer1, I get redirected correctly to the Tomcat server pool as I would expect, however, I do not get to the correct subdirectories in the pool, as it tries then to go to a subdirectory called "customer1" instead of "archibus".
Does anyone have any ideas?
