Set Password
Set/reset the password controlling access to the NTP100’s configuration.
A password can be a maximum of 10 characters and may contain any sequence of letters, numbers, and common
punctuation. Passwords are case-sensitive.
WARNING: If the password is lost, the user must reset the NTP100 using the Reset button on the rear of the
unit. This will cause the unit to return all configuration to factory-default settings.
When a password is set for a device, each time you click OK or Apply for that device you will be asked for the
password. You may create a unique password for each device. You may enable the ‘Remember this password for the
session’ checkbox to eliminate typing the password for each configuration change.
[Note: each device listed can have a unique password associated with it, which will default to the factory default
password. You must enable the “Remember this password for the session’ checkbox for each device that is being
configured.]
WinDiscovery will not remember or store the password (s) after the session is closed. It is important for the user/system
administrator to maintain passwords in a safe place.
If you enter the wrong password and selected the “remember password” checkbox, you will receive an error upon
selecting OK or Apply to any configuration changes. You can close the WinDiscovery session to “forget” the
password(s), however this will require entering the password again for each device. Alternately, you can remove the
incorrect password entry during a WinDiscovery session by going to the right click menu for the device and selecting
Forget memorized password option. This option will be added to the right click list and will only be displayed if a
password is memorized
.
[Note: the factory default password is: “public”]
[Hint: To remove password protection for a device, select the Set Password command. You will be prompted to enter
the old password. Enter the old password. Do not enter anything into the New Password or Confirm Password fields.
Click OK to save. Upon you next session, you will not be prompted for a password for the clock.]
