Set Admin PsWd

Set Administrative Password is used to change the

Administrative Password value. The Administrative
Password is an 8-digit decimal number that allows
authorized users to enter the Access Security Control
function.

NOTE

If this value is forgotten, then the
only way to access any of the
security functions is by selecting
Reset Security. This restores the
password to a known value*, but
erases the contents of the
modem’s security database.

To change the Administrative Password, make the

following selections:

Set Access Ctrl <
Set_Admin_PsWd

Press

until Set_Admin_PsWd appears.

Select Set_Admin_PsWd.

Set Admin PsWd
Ent

00000000

The Administrative Password appears.

Press the F2 (

") key to increment password values.

Press the

key to move the cursor to the next

position. Continue this sequence until the new password
value is entered.

Press the F1 key to save the new password value.

Reset Security

Reset Security is the second major function within the

Security branch of the Top-Level menu. It erases all
contents of the security database table and resets all index
locations to Cleared. Two selections appear under Reset
Security: Abort Security Reset and Erase All PassWords.
Use Reset Security if you want to redo the entire security
database table.

CAUTION

This function can be used as
a last resort if the
Administrative Password is
no longer known. This
function causes the
Administrative Password to
default to the Reset Default
password, and erases the
contents of the database
table.

To reset security, make the following selections:

Security:

Reset_Security

From the Security branch, press

until

Reset_Security appears.

Select Reset_Security.

Reset Security

Abort_Sec_Reset

To abort this function, select Abort_Sec_Reset.

Nothing is erased and the LCD returns to the main
security display.
