According to the CompTIA Tech+ Study Guide:
"Changing Default Usernames and Passwords - The first thing a potential hacker will try to use is the default username or password for a device. Always change them." It also emphasizes:
"Enabling passwords and changing default usernames and passwords are essential password management best practices." Therefore, the correct action after server setup is to change the default usernames and passwords to secure the system.

Web browsers store cached data to improve loading speeds and remember form inputs. If outdated credentials are appearing, clearing the cache ensures that old stored data is removed and the page loads fresh content.
"Cached data can include stored form data, which may result in outdated information being auto-filled.
Clearing the browser cache resolves this." - CompTIA ITF+ Official Curriculum Correct answer: C

The CompTIA Tech+ Study Guide provides a conversion table for storage units:
"1 bit = 1 bit, a single 0 or 1.
8 bits = 1 byte (one text character).
1,000 bytes = 1 kilobyte (KB)."
Thus, 8 bits equals 1 byte.

The correct answer is C. Configuring automatic software updates. Automatic updates help keep the operating system and applications patched against known security flaws. This is proactive because it reduces exposure before an attack occurs. Cloud backup helps with data recovery, but it does not directly prevent online threats.
Updating subscription software may help in some cases, such as antivirus software, but the broader and stronger proactive security measure is automatic software updates. Installing remote access software can increase risk if it is not properly secured.
Exact Extract/Reference: The Tech+ Study Guide states that device hardening "starts with keeping the software up-to-date" and lists patching software as a security-hardening action. It also warns that some updates address "critical security flaws" and that ignoring them can make a PC vulnerable to Internet-based attacks.

The correct order for creating a network cable:
Measure and cut with wire cutter
Strip the wires
Attach Ethernet connector using a crimper
Finally, test the cable with a cable tester to ensure connectivity and proper pinout.
"After crimping the RJ-45 connectors, a cable tester is used to validate the electrical continuity and correct wiring order." - CompTIA ITF+ Curriculum Correct answer: A
