Type Credentials
If you had edited the credentials for a particular device, and later want to reset the credentials for that device to the
Default Device Type Credentials, you can do so through the Edit Device Credentials dialog box.
CAUTION: Resetting to the Default Device Type Credentials overwrites the device-specific credentials with the
Default Device Type Credentials. After you reset the credentials, SupportAssist uses the Default Device Type
Credentials to collect the system logs on that device.
NOTE: You can reset the device-specific credentials to the Default Device Type Credentials for only one device at a
time through the Edit Device Credentials dialog box. To overwrite the device-specific credentials for multiple
devices belonging to a particular Device Type and Credential Type at a time, see Overwriting The Device-Specific
Credentials With The Default Device Type Credentials.
