Password

The Password screen, shown in Figure 7-11, lets you change the Bridge’s Password and restore the factory default settings.

•Administrative Password - It is strongly recommended that you change the factory default password of the Bridge from admin to a new password that you create. All users who try to access the Bridge’s Web-based Utility will be prompted for the Bridge’s Password. The new Password must not exceed 12 characters in length and must not include any spaces. Enter the new Password a second time to confirm it.

IMPORTANT: Any settings you have saved will be lost if the default settings are restored.

•Restore Factory Defaults - Click the Yes radio button to reset all configuration settings to their default values. If you do not want to restore the factory defaults, then keep the default setting, No.
