Dual-Band Wireless AC Access Point WAC720 and WAC730 User Manual Change the Administrator Password The default password is password. We recommend that you change this password to a more secure password. You cannot change the administrator login name (admin).

To change the administrator password: 1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the access point or to the access point directly through an Ethernet cable. For more information, see Log In to the Access Point on page 16. 2. In the address bar, enter the IP address of the access point. A login window opens. 3. Enter the user name and password. The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive. 4. Select Maintenance > Password > Change Password. 5. Take one of the following actions: • Enter a new password twice, once in the New Password field and again in the Repeat New Password field. • To restore the default password, select the Restore Default Password Yes radio button. By default, the No radio button is selected. 6. Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved. If you restored the default password, the login password is password.
