Change the admin user account password
This admin user account password is the password that you use to log in to the local
browser UI of the access point with the user name admin. (It is not the passphrase that
you use for WiFi access.)
The password must be 8 to 63 characters in length and must contain at least one
uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and one number. The following special characters
are allowed:
! @ # $ % ^ & * ( )
To change the password for the user name admin:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as
the access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi
connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window displays.
If your browser does not display the login window but displays a security message
and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after initial setup on
page 46.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified. The user name
and password are case-sensitive.
If you previously added the access point to a NETGEAR Insight network location and
managed the access point through the Insight app or Insight Cloud portal, enter the
Insight network password for that location. For more information, see Connect over
WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight app on page 31.
The Dashboard page displays.
4.
Select Management > Configuration > System > Advanced > User Accounts.
The page that displays lets you change the user accounts.
5.
Next to admin, in the Password field, enter the new password.
6.
In the Confirm Password field, enter the same new password.
Note: You cannot change the user name. The name must remain admin.
