Administration
Changing the Password
Management access to the web and CLI interface on the access point is controlled
through a single user name and password. You can also gain additional access
security by using control filters (see “Filter Control” on page 6-17).
To protect access to the management interface, you need to configure an
Administrator’s user name and password as soon as possible. If the user name and
password are not configured, then anyone having access to the access point may
be able to compromise access point and network security. Once a new Administrator
has been configured, you can delete the default “admin” user name from the system.
Note: Pressing the Reset button on the back of the access point for more than five
seconds resets the user name and password to the factory defaults. For this
reason, we recommend that you protect the access point from physical access by
unauthorized persons.
Username – The name of the user. The default name is “admin.” (Length: 3-16
characters, case sensitive)
New Password – The password for management access. (Length: 3-16 characters,
case sensitive)
Confirm New Password – Enter the password again for verification.
CLI Commands for the Administrator’s User Name and Password – Use the
username and password commands from the CLI configuration mode.
