Setting the administrator password

The administrator password controls access to the Administration Web pages for the
Gateway 7001 Series self-managed AP. This setting is also available on the Basic Settings
administration page. When you set the administrator password in either place and apply
the change, the new password is updated and shared by all access points in the cluster.

Navigating to administrator password setting

To set the administrator password, click

Advanced > Password

on the Administration Web

page. The Change the Administrator password screen opens. Update the boxes as described
in the following section.

Setting the administrator password

To set a new administrator password, fill in the password, then re-confirm. The password
setting requires that you know the existing password before you can change it. This is to
prevent an unauthorized person from changing the password in a case where you leave
an open browser unattended.
