Default root password = major security risk
Posted: 01 Feb 2013, 08:04
The B3 manual says "A SSH connection will be available on the WAN port using username: ‘root’,
password: ‘excito’."
If you have the ssh port open, on your firewall, to permit remote ssh access, you surely need to be able to change the root password from the default (excito). Otherwise your B3 is open to the world, to use the published default password, to steal data from the box and mess it up generally.
I can't find anywhere in the documentation where it tells one how to change the root password to one of your own creation. Does anyone know how to change the root password on a B3 please?
