account

The account command is used to create, delete, and modify user accounts for Makito X Series devices.

Note

Only an administrator can use the account command.

Important

Makito X Series devices ship from the factory with only the admin account enabled. For security reasons, the two default user accounts (user and operator) are locked at the factory as well as after a factory reset. An administrator must unlock them and change the passwords to use them for the first time.
