CHANGING YOUR USER NAME AND PASSWORD
The password is your security code for the GlobeSurfer
®
X.1 Graphical User Interface. When logging in to the
Graphical User Interface for the first time you have to use the default user name and password of “admin” and
“admin”.
If you want to change the user name or password, you can do as follows:
1.
Login to the GlobeSurfer
®
X.1 Graphical User Interface, if you have not done so already.
2.
Click ‘Advanced Mode’ in the header area.
3.
Click the ‘System’ icon on the menu tabs.
4.
Click on “Password” from the submenu.
5.
Enter the new details in the ‘User name’ and ‘Password’ fields.
6.
Click ‘Apply’ to save the changes.
Cannot remember your username or password?
You can login to change usernames and passwords, but if you have only one user with administrative permissions
and you cannot remember that login name or password, you will have to restore GlobeSurfer
®
X.1 to the factory
default settings. This allows you to accept the default user name and provide a new password in the ‘Welcome
page’.
6.2.1
Restoring the factory default settings
You can restore the factory default configuration for GlobeSurfer® X1 when you want to build a new network from
scratch, or when changes to the network have become unclear.
Note: All web-based management settings and parameters, not only those in the Advanced section, will
be restored to their default values. This includes the administrator password: the user-specified password
will no longer be valid.
All personal configuration settings are deleted.
You can restore the factory settings as follows:
Insert a paperclip into the little recess hole that lies between the Ethernet port and the USB port to the
rear of the X1 device.
