Setting the Administrator Password

The administrator password controls access to the Administration Web pages for the Instant802™ Enterprise-Managed AP. This setting is also available on the Basic Settings administration page. When you set the administration password in either place and apply the change, the new password is updated and shared by all access points in the cluster.

Setting the Administrator Password

To set a new administrator password, fill in the password and 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.

Field
Description
Existing Password
Enter the current administrator password. (The factory default password is admin.)
The text you enter will be displayed as "*" characters to prevent others from seeing your password as you type.
New Password
Enter a new administrator password.
The Administrator password must be an alphanumeric string of up to 8 characters. Do not use special characters or spaces.
Re-enter the new administrator password to confirm that you typed it as intended.
