Change the Base Station Password
Access to the Base Station Management Tool is password protected to help ensure that only users who know the
base station password can change your network configuration. If you ran the Setup Wizard, you were prompted to
establish a password. This is your base station password. If you did not run the Setup Wizard, your default
password is admin. You can change the base station password from the Base Station Management Tool.
It is a good idea to change your password every two to three months, or more frequently if you are concerned that
an unauthorized person has administrative access to the base station.
If at any point you restore the factory default settings for the base station, the default password admin is also
restored. You can use this password to access the base station, and then create a new password at the earliest
opportunity.
When you change your base station password, be sure to update your backup file.
To change the base station password
1. Open the Base Station Management Tool, and then click Management.
2. On the Management menu, click Change Password.
3. In the Current password box, type your current password.
4. In the New password box, type a new password. Use a minimum of 6 characters, but no more than 16
characters. The base station password is case sensitive.
5. In the Retype new password box, retype the new password.
6. If you want, in the Log out inactive user in box, type a time interval. After the specified time interval elapses
without activity, you will need to log on to the Base Station Management Tool again in order to view or change
settings.
7. To save the new password, click Apply.
Be sure to store your password in a safe place. If you forget or misplace your password and cannot log on to the
Base Station Management Tool, you can restore the base station to the factory default settings from the base
station itself, and then use the default password admin to open the Base Station Management Tool. For more
information about restoring factory default settings on the base station, see “Resetting the Base Station” in
Chapter 1 of your printed User’s Guide.
