Changing Your Password
It is recommended to change the default Admin password as soon as you have logged into the system.
In addition to the Admin password, there is an additional password protected user account, “root user”, which is
configured in the system. The root user password and instructions for changing this password are available from
Cambium Networks Customer Support. It is strongly recommended to change this password.
To change your password:
1. Select Platform > Security > Access Control > Change Password . The Change User Password page opens.
