3.1.1 Resetting the AP-5131 Password
The AP-5131 Command Line Interface (CLI) enables users who forget their password to reset it to the
factory default (symbol). From there, a new password can be defined. To reset the AP-5131 password
back to its default setting:
1. Connect one end of a null modem serial cable to the AP-5131’s serial connector. Attach the
other end of the null modem serial cable to the serial port of a PC running HyperTerminal or
a similar emulation program.
2. Set the HyperTerminal program to use 19200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow
control and auto-detect for terminal emulation.
3. Press <ESC> or <Enter> to access the AP-5131 CLI.
A serial connection has now been established and the user should be able to view the serial
connection window.
NOTE Though the AP-5131 can have its basic settings defined using a number of
different screens, Symbol recommends using the AP-5131 Quick Setup
screen to define a minimum required configuration from one location.
