Changing the Login Password
The Change Password menu lets you change the password used to log in to the Gateway’s
Web interface. For security, we recommend you change the default log in password the first
time you log in to the Web management interface to protect the Gateway from being
tampered with.
To display the Change Password, click Troubleshooting in the menu bar, and then click the
Change Password submenu in the menu bar. Figure 55 shows an example of the menu
and Table 22 describes the menu.
