Security Modes

Available security modes are:

Viewing and Changing Passwords

To view your current password for the configuration website, navigate to Security > Show Password.

To change your auto-generated password, select Security > New Password. This immediately makes your previous password invalid. If you are currently logged into the configuration webpage with the previous password, the system requires you to login again with the new password.
