3. telnet to the device and login with the new admin account you just created.
4. run the following command:
service system ifdelete name=HTTPs group=wan

changing frequency at which windows synchronises with internet time server

edit the following key in registry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpClient

double click on 'SpecialPollInterval' in the right hand pane - default is 604800 (7 days) in seconds (Decimal). You can change the Decimal value to what ever you want. I have mine set to 14400 (4 Hours).

You will need to restart your system for this change to take effect.
