Automated daily password change process for the default root password

Patch D (OS 2.0) for the 8100 and 8200 Series clocks has implemented an automated root password change process which happens daily at 00:00:00 (midnight).

The daily root password change follows these guidelines for the password syntax:

• The password format is comprised of $ynEL{current day multiplied by current month} plus the last 4 characters of the reader name.
  Note: The reader name is the wbsynch.webservice.serverName parameter in the settings.conf file.
• If there are fewer than 4 characters in the reader name, it will add all reader name characters to the password.
• If there is no reader name, it will not add any additional characters to the password.

Here are some examples of possible root passwords following the guidelines above:

• For June 16th and a reader name of WB8000SERVER, the password will be $ynEL96RVER.
• On January 4th and a reader name of DAY, the password will be $ynEL4DAY.
• On May 5th and no reader name, the password will be $ynEL25.
