Change Default Password
Parent: D3-CH
Description
Changing the default password means replacing the factory-set credentials with a strong, unique password before the device is deployed, preventing unauthorized access.

Derived by composition, not from a source that names this pair. D3FEND publishes that Change Default Password counters T1078 Valid Accounts; SafeMode's curated mapping records IA-0007 as addressing that same adversary behaviour in the space domain. The control assumes an enterprise host or network -- interactive user accounts, IP session structure, or an organisational perimeter -- so it reaches the mission ground segment and not the spacecraft. Recorded at moderate confidence because the supporting chain is two documented edges rather than one source attesting the pair directly.
