Setting the Administrator Password
The administrator password controls access to the Administration Web pages for the Devicescape Enterprise-Managed AP. This setting is also available on the Basic Settings administration page. When you set the administration password in either place and apply the change, the new password is updated and shared by all access points in the cluster.
The following sections describe how to configure the Administrator password on the Devicescape Enterprise-Managed AP:
Navigating to Administrator Password Setting
To set the administrator password, navigate to the Advanced > Password tab, and update the fields as described below.
Setting the Administrator Password
To set a new administrator password, fill in the password and then re-confirm. The password setting requires that you know the existing password before you can change it. This is to prevent an unauthorized person from changing the password in a case where you leave an open browser unattended.
