Removal/Editing of default admin user

Post by jonboyi0341 »

I do not want the default admin user to remain on any of my cameras. Call me paranoid but oh well. How do I remove the default admin or at least change user name so "admin" is no recognized as a log in? The password has been changed but that is not enough for me.
Thank you.

I would also like to know how to do this.

I also wonder why my posts keep disappearing - makes me feel unwelcome here :)

I believe you can add another username and password. If this works then you can give the admin an impossibly long password to crack.
