5.1.3.1 Password
The local password for the WCM may be changed from the access control menu. The
default password is the product name, ie “wcm1100”, “wcm3100” or “wcm-serial”, however
for deployment a more secure password may be required.
To change the unit password, select “Password” from the system menu. The WCM will
display the following:
Enter new password
Password >
Enter the new password, up to 32 alphanumeric or printable ascii control characters. For
security, each character is shown on the screen as an asterisk “*”. Once the new
password is entered, the display changes to
Enter new password
Password >
***********
Verify>
Re-enter the new password. If the password is correctly verified the unit will assume the
new password for the next logon.
For security, passwords are stored in encrypted form within the unit configuration files that
may be uploaded using TFTP.
