Then it simply should not have a password. If everyone who can access it is benign by definition, simply remove the access control.
Having a password implies that it provides some meaningful security. A bad lock is worse than no lock, because it will lead people to put the instrument in inappropriate places.
- Suzuran 3y agoHaving a password makes it less likely that the script that your co-worker got in their email and ran behind your firewall will destroy your stuff as a side effect of scanning your network for things it can destroy.
- qwezxcrty 3y agoI agree to some extent, that's why no one put a password to the telnet based LXI SCPI command interface. But a weak password maybe useful sometimes, to prevent your coworker accidentally connect to the wrong equipment and mess up one's experiment. Here it's never meant to deter a hostile coworker, in that case one reports to one's superior rather than rely on the password which is always stickered to the scope itself (in my lab).
