Setting a Password
If this is your first time to access the Barricade Plus, you should define a
new password, record it and put it in a safe place. From the “Advanced
Setup” menu, select “System” and click on “Password Settings” and follow
the instructions on the screen.
Use this menu to restrict management access based on a specific password.
Anyone can access the “Setup Wizard,” “Advanced Setup” and Help
menus, but you must enter a password to access the configuration options
provided by the “Setup Wizard” and “Advanced Setup” menus. By default,
there is no password, so please assign a password to the Barricade Plus as
soon as possible, and store it in a safe place.
Passwords can contain from 3–12 alphanumeric characters, and are
case-sensitive.
Note: If your password is lost, or you cannot gain access to the
management interface, press the Reset button on the front panel
(holding it down for at least five seconds) to restore the factory
defaults.
