ThruLink GUI Default Password Change Policy
It is good practice to change the default password for the Graphical User Interface (GUI), even though
this interface isn’t available by default on the WAN segment. In order to facilitate this requirement,
the force password change policy has been implemented on all version of ThruLink installed with
version 6.1.0.18 onwards. This policy is only executed when in factory default mode and won’t affect
any existing unit that upgrades to the latest version while maintaining their existing configuration.
The NEW password policy also has restrictions on characters that can be used. Any alpha numerical
characters and any of the following special characters can be used in the passphrase
! $ % ^ @ * ? #
As soon as the password has been changed you will be requested to login again with the new
password.
