Use the DXM Configuration Software to:

Set the Admin Password
•
Change the Admin Password
•
Remove the Admin Password
To change or remove an admin password, the current password must be supplied. The DXM must be connected to the PC to
change the administration password.
The DXM can be unlocked without knowing the administration password, but doing this erases the configuration program,
logging files, and any ScriptBasic program on the device. For instruction on how to do this, see the
page 63 section.
