Changing the Password

Management access to the web and CLI interface on the SMC2555W-AG is controlled through a single user name and password. You can also gain additional access security by using control filters. (See “Filter Control” on page 5-21.)

To protect access to the management interface, you need to configure an Administrator’s user name and password as soon as possible. If the user name and password are not configured, then anyone having access to the access point may be able to compromise access point and network security.

Note: Pressing the Reset button on the back of the SMC2555W-AG for more than five seconds resets the user name and password to the factory defaults. For this reason, we recommend that you protect the access point from physical access by unauthorized persons.

Username – The name of the user. The default name is “admin.” (Length: 3-16 characters, case sensitive.)

New Password – The password for management access. (Length: 3-16 characters, case sensitive)

Confirm New Password – Enter the password again for verification.
