Changing Equalizer’s Console Password
The console password is the password for the eqadmin account, which automaticallly displays the
Equalizer Configuration Utility when you log in. The factory-installed password for this account is
equalizer. To change Equalizer’s console password, follow these steps:
1. In the Equalizer Configuration Menu window, select option 5, Console. Then press Enter.
2. Type the new password; it can include any combination of printable characters (except spaces)
up to 20 characters.
3. When prompted, enter the password again to confirm the change. The new password takes
effect immediately.
Changing the Administration Interface Password
Use this option if you’ve forgotten the Administrative Interface’s touch login password.
The Administrative Interface supports two logins: touch and look. When you log in to the
administration interface using the touch login, you are in edit mode, and can update Equalizer’s
configuration (including the passwords for the touch and look logins). The look login does not
allow any changes to be made. Therefore, if you forget the password for the touch login, you cannot
reset it through the Administrative Interface, and must reset it using the Equalizer Configuration
Utility via the serial console or remote access (see the section “Managing Remote Access to the
Equalizer” on page 27).
To change the administration password, follow these steps:
1. In the Equalizer Configuration Menu window, select option 4, Password, and press Enter.
2. Type the new password. The password can include any combination of printable characters
(except spaces) and can be no more than 20 characters in length (note that spaces are accepted
by the interface, but will not work when attempting to log in).
3. When prompted, enter the password again to confirm the change. The new password takes
effect immediately.
