Quest KACE recommends changing the default passwords during the initial setup of the appliance for the administrator, the appliance Samba share directory, and the Boot Manager.

The following passwords are associated with the appliance.

Password	Description
Administrator	The default password is admin. The new password must be six characters or more in length.
Samba Share Password, KACE Media Manager, and KACE Boot Environment (KBE)   NOTE: All use the same password.	The default password is admin and is used for uploading drivers and backing up and restoring library components, scripted installations, system images, boot environments, network inventory, and network scans.   NOTE: The KACE SDA Hostname field on the KACE Media Manager requires this password.
Boot Manager	By default, Boot Manager authentication is disabled. The Boot Manager contains a bootstrap file that the Windows client Boot Manager downloads during the initial device PXE boot in to the KACE Boot Environment. The Boot Manager interface displays on the target device.
VNC	Enables a connection to a target device that has networked booted.
NetBoot	Used only for Mac devices.

NOTE: Only 7-bit ASCII characters are accepted for KBE remote VNC passwords.
