??? danger "✮ ✮ ✮ CHANGE THE PASSWORDS! ✮ ✮ ✮" PiKVM comes with the following default passwords:
* **Linux admin** (SSH, etc.): user `root`, password `root`.
* **PiKVM Web Interface**: user `admin`, password `admin`, no 2FA code.
**These are two separate entities with independent accounts.**
To change passwords, you will need to use the terminal (read below) access via SSH or Web Terminal.
If you are using the Web Terminal, use the `su -` command to get root access (enter the root user password).
```
# rw
# passwd root
# kvmd-htpasswd set admin
# ro
```
If you require additional user for the Web UI access, use the following:
```
# kvmd-htpasswd set <user> # Set a new user with password or change of an existing one
# 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.*
