Default passwords are often publicly known and can be easily discovered by attackers through manuals or online databases, leaving devices and systems vulnerable to unauthorized access. Changing default passwords to unique, strong passwords is essential for securing the device against unauthorized access or control. Using default passwords does not provide adequate security because they can be quickly exploited by threat actors who have knowledge of these defaults.
