bummer

I got my 2830 from here

I thought £135 was a pretty good price

Anyway, as has been discussed before, half the security isn't missing. If you think that a username
makes it more secure, then just add it to the password.

e.g. if you want

username : john
password : 1234567

Then set the password to john1234567 and it's just as secure/strong.




Sorry but that just means a brute force attack will take a bit longer, as the username is still 'admin' half the login information is still a 'known' quantity.

I want to change the Username from Admin, or create a new user account and disable the admin account.

I am unable to do either ;(
