Rename or Disable built-in Administrator
Hi
I have several USG1100, USG110 and one VPN100 device.
Is it possible (and how) to disable or rename the built-in Administrator account?
We'd like to get (a little bit) higher security, so that potential hackers also have to guess the username.
We already have created aditional admin accounts. But now we'd like to disable the default one.
Thanks in advance

Hi @Veronesi
The default admin user is unable disable/remove on system.
But you can use build-in security function to protect your device.
(1) In WWW you can limit login source IP address.
(2) In User setting, you can setup retry times and lockout period.

You could give it a super long password

Yes, possible... However not the preferred way to go. But maybe the only one?0
