When the normal user's password is reset by admin user, he/she should change the initial password and set a new password when logging into HikCentral Professional via the Web Client.

1. In the address bar of the web browser, enter the address of the PC running SYS service and press Enter key.

   If the IP address of PC running SYS is 172.6.21.96, and you should enter http://172.6.21.96 or https://172.6.21.96 in the address bar.

   Note:

   You should configure the SYS's IP address in WAN Access of System Configuration before accessing the SYS via WAN. For details, refer to Set WAN Access.

2. Enter the user name and initial password set by the administrator.
3. Click Login and a Change Password window opens.
4. Set a new password and confirm the password.
   Note:

   The password strength can be checked by the system and should meet the system requirements. If password strength is lower than the required minimum strength, you will be asked to change your password. For setting minimum password strength, refer to Manage System Security.

   CAUTION:

   The password strength of the device can be checked by the system. We highly recommend you change the password of your own choosing (using a minimum of 8 characters, including at least three kinds of following categories: upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, and special characters) in order to increase the security of your product. And we recommend you reset your password regularly, especially in the high security system, resetting the password monthly or weekly can better protect your product.

   Proper configuration of all passwords and other security settings is the responsibility of the installer and/or end-user.

5. Click OK.
