digits, and only accepts “ A~Z ” , “ 0~9 ” . The default password is “ 00000000 ” . For security
reasons, please change the default password the first time you configure the KVM switch. It is
strongly recommend to write down the new password. If the password is forgotten, you will need
to contact the vendor to erase the password that had been set.
