The factory default passwords are as shown in Table 7.35.
To change the password for Access Level 1 to #Ot3579!ijd7, enter the
following command:
=>>PAS 1 #Ot3579!ijd7 <Enter>
Set
=>>
Similarly, use PAS 2 to change Level 2 passwords.
Passwords can contain as many as 12 characters. Upper- and lowercase letters
are treated as different characters. Strong passwords consist of 12 characters,
with at least one special character or digit and mixed case sensitivity, but do
not form a name, date, acronym, or word. Passwords formed in this manner
are less susceptible to password guessing and automated attacks. Examples of
valid, distinct, and strong passwords are shown below:
#0t3579!ijd7
$A24.68&,mvj
(Ih2dcs)36dn
*4u-Iwg+?lf-
After entering new passwords, type PAS <Enter> to confirm that you entered
the passwords correctly. Make sure that the passwords are what you intended,
and record the new passwords.
To recover lost passwords, press the {Left Arrow} and {Right Arrow} pushbuttons
for 10 seconds to disable passwords. Reenter the PAS command and new
passwords as previously described.
Pressing the {Left Arrow} and {Right Arrow} pushbuttons for 10 seconds toggles
the
PASSWORD DISABLE/ENABLE if passwords are set.
If you want to disable password protection for a specific access level, set the
password to DISABLE. For example, PAS 1 DISABLE <Enter> disables
password protection for Level 1.
