On delivery the admin password was set to blank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Searching around I found two or three methods, but none seemed to relate exactly to what we have, so here goes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Login as Admin using the default password (blank in our case)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the left pane, choose &#8216;Device Management&#8217;, then &#8216;Configuartion&#8217; on the sub-menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose &#8216;Program\/Change Administrator&#8217;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Here I only ticked &#8216;Administrator 1&#8217; for all four roles shown, then under &#8216;Administrator 1&#8217; below clicked &#8216;Change&#8217; and entered the new password and OK.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The important thing here is to click OK again to return to the previous &#8216;Configuration&#8217; screen, or the password will not be stored.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have no idea why I could not find this before. It seems obvious now which option I should have chosen but I just did not see that option in the numerous ones available! Plus I think I was biased towards other options by my previous Google searches which seemed to relate to what I was seeing. Anyway, I hope it helps someone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If I find myself spending an inordinate time on Google looking for something, I try to record it here to try and reduce the time for others searching for the same, often straightforward, enquiry.
