Set Admin PsWd

Set Administrative Password is used to change the Administrative Password value. The Administrative Password is an 8-digit decimal number that allows authorized users to enter the Access Security Control function.

NOTE

If this value is forgotten, then the only way to access any of the security functions is by selecting Reset Security. This restores the password to a known value*, but erases the contents of the modem’s security database.

To change the Administrative Password, make the following selections:

Set Access Ctrl		<
Set_Admin_PsWd
F1	F2	F3

Press until Set_Admin_PsWd appears.

Select Set_Admin_PsWd.

Set Admin PsWd

Ent " 00000000

F1 F2 F3

The Administrative Password appears.

Press the F2 (") key to increment password values.

Press the key to move the cursor to the next position. Continue this sequence until the new password value is entered.

Press the F1 key to save the new password value.

Reset Security

Reset Security is the second major function within the Security branch of the Top-Level menu. It erases all contents of the security database table and resets all index locations to Cleared. Two selections appear under Reset Security: Abort Security Reset and Erase All PassWords. Use Reset Security if you want to redo the entire security database table.

CAUTION

This function can be used as a last resort if the Administrative Password is no longer known. This function causes the Administrative Password to default to the Reset Default password, and erases the contents of the database table.

To reset security, make the following selections:

Security:<

Reset_Security

F1 F2 F3

From the Security branch, press until Reset_Security appears.

Select Reset_Security.

Reset Security		>
Abort_Sec_Reset
F1	F2	F3

To abort this function, select Abort_Sec_Reset. Nothing is erased and the LCD returns to the main security display.

* This value appears as a single number on the last page of this document.
