??? danger "✮ ✮ ✮ CHANGE THE PASSWORDS! ✮ ✮ ✮"
PiKVM comes with the following default passwords:
* **Linux admin** (SSH, console, etc.): user `root`, password `root`.
* **PiKVM Web Interface** ([API](api.md), [VNC](vnc.md)...): user `admin`, password `admin`, no 2FA code.
**These are two separate entities with independent accounts.**
To change passwords, you will need to use the console access via SSH or the Web Terminal.
If you are using the Web Terminal, enter the `su -` command to get the `root` access (enter the `root` user password).
```console
[root@pikvm ~]# rw
[root@pikvm ~]# passwd root
[root@pikvm ~]# kvmd-htpasswd set admin
[root@pikvm ~]# ro
```
If you require additional user for the Web UI access, use the following:
```console
[root@pikvm ~]# kvmd-htpasswd set <user> # Set a new user with password or change of an existing one
[root@pikvm ~]# kvmd-htpasswd del <user> # Remove/delete a user
```
**Optionally you can enable the [two-factor authentication](auth.md#two-factor-authentication) for more security.**
*Changing the [VNCAuth passkey](vnc.md) and [IPMI password](ipmi.md) at the first start of PiKVM is not required,
since these services are disabled by default. But it is here just so that you remember their existence.*
