On the
Management / Administration
page, you can change the password for the administrator
account used to access the web-based interface of the router and to access the device settings via
TELNET and SSH, restore the factory defaults, backup the current configuration, restore the
router's configuration from a previously created file, save the changed settings to the non-volatile
memory, reboot the device, or change the web-based interface language.
Figure 168. The
Management / Administration
page.
In order to change the password for the administrator account, in the
User
section, enter a new
password in the
New password
and
Password confirmation
fields. Use digits, Latin letters
(uppercase and/or lowercase), and other characters available in the US keyboard layout.
Click the
Show
icon ( ) to display the entered values.
Then click the

Remember or write down the new password for the administrator account. In case of losing
the new password, you can access the settings of the router only after restoring the factory
default settings via the hardware
RESET
button. This procedure wipes out all settings that
you have configured for your router.
To change the web-based interface language, select the needed value from the
Language
drop-
down list.
