Managing D9854 Web GUI Accounts 
You can define up to 10 usernames/passwords for login use via web GUI session on 
the D9854 receiver.  
When a user tries to login, the user is required to provide a username and a 
password. The user is granted access only if this username/password pair exists in 
the authentication table. 
The factory preset Admin account has Admin privileges and is allowed to add new 
users, delete users, change usernames, and modify its own passwords. Users with 
non-Admin privileges (for example, User and Guest) are only allowed to modify 
their own passwords.  
To Change the User Login Passwords 
1 From the user interface of the D9854, click System Settings > Security/Accounts 
> Account Management. The Account Management page is displayed.
