Quality

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