default username/password on new units
Just wondering, how to do change the password to the "admin" user account on a new v6.0 unit? I have my new account configured (with admin access assigned) but I am still able to login using username ...

Nevermind. It was hiding in the top right hand corner (profile) where you can select your region (languages). there is a selection for settings which allows for changing the password. Kind of dumb space to put it since there is a whole section dedicated to user and account management.
It's not exactly intuitive. It should prompt you to change the password when first setting up the unit.
