Want to delete the root of the CLI and use a different ID and password

Question

There are CLI: root and GUI: admin generated by default.

I can see how to delete and change GUI: admin.

I don't know how to change CLI: root ID and password.

I want to delete the root of the CLI and use a different ID and password.

How can I change or delete it?

I wouldn't do that, for there could be a lot of things broken because of that.&nbsp;I guess some security people were pushing for this type of operation?
