warning1

The card file for sys (the system administrator) will default to the security group of Administrator, which you will not be able to change. This is to ensure that if security is accidentally placed on security itself, you can log on as sys (system administrator) in order to rectify the problem. Due to the unrestricted access that the Administrator security group allows, you will need to change the password for the user sys, as the default password is widely known.
