Since we can create other users with Privilege level 14, it would be nice if we could enable / disable the default "admin" account (From a privilege level 14 account).

The username of the default account "admin" can be changed on firmware version 4.90 or a newer version.

    Hi @mietz,

    You can change the administrator account's username from "admin" to the name you prefer when the running firmware version is 4.90 or a newer version. Below is an example of GS1350 running the 4.90 firmware version.

    For the other switch model, please stay tuned on the category "switch new release."

    Hi @p4nd4

    The current firmware for the XS1930 series has demonstrated solid stability and compatibility, so there is no urgent need for a new release at this stage.

    We will continue to maintain the product based on its actual operational status.

    Hi @Zyxel_Melen

    Thank you for the information.

    It's good to hear that the XS1930 series will continue to be maintained / supported. This at least opens up the possibility that this feature could be implemented in a future firmware update.

    Best regards
