Set or Change a Password
From the Simple Setup | Change Password screen, you can set a new password or change an existing
password to restrict management access. Passwords can consist of 3 to 12 alphanumeric characters and are
not case-sensitive.
Although any user can access the Status and Help menus, the Setup and Tools configuration options are
permission-based and require a password. The default password is admin. To ensure system security, it is
recommended that you assign your Administrator a unique password as soon as possible.
Note:
If your password is lost or you cannot gain access to the management interface, restore the factory defaults.
Press and hold the Reset button for at least five seconds.
