<strong>Access</strong> <strong>Point</strong> Configuration<br />
Modifying System Management <strong>Access</strong><br />
Modifying System Management <strong>Access</strong><br />
Management access to the access point’s web and CLI interface is controlled<br />
through a single user name and password. You can also gain additional in-band<br />
access security by using control filters (see “Setting up Filter Control” on<br />
page 5-32).<br />
Caution <strong>HP</strong> strongly recommends that you configure a new Manager password and<br />
not use the default. If a Manager password is not configured, then the access<br />
point is not password-protected, and anyone having in-band or out-of-band<br />
access to the access point may be able to compromise access point and<br />
network security.<br />
Pressing the Reset button on the back of the access point for more than five<br />
seconds removes password protection. For this reason, it is recommended<br />
that you protect the access point from physical access by unauthorized<br />
persons.<br />
Web: Setting User Names and Passwords<br />
The Change Password window enables the access point’s management user<br />
name and password to be set.<br />
The web interface enables you to modify these parameters:<br />
■ Username: The name of the user. The default name is “admin.” (Length:<br />
3-16 printable ASCII characters, case sensitive.)<br />
■ New Password: The password for management access. (Length: 3-16<br />
printable ASCII characters, case sensitive) There is no default password.<br />
To Set a User Name and Password:<br />
1. Select the Configuration tab.<br />
2. Click the [Change Password] button.<br />
3. Type a new user name in the Username text field.<br />
4. Type a password in the New Password text field.<br />
5. Type the password again in the Confirm New Password text field.<br />
6. Click the [Apply Changes] button.<br />
