Set up the Password and Network Connection Settings

Launch Internet Explorer (or your preferred web browser) and navigate to 192.168.0.1.

Figure 2-8

The Web Management Console will display.

Select Network Setup under Networking in the left hand menu.

You will be prompted to log in. Enter the initial user name and password for your
CyberGuard SG appliance:

User name:

root

Password:

default

Note

If you are unable to connect to the Management Console at 192.168.0.1, or the initial
username and password are not accepted, press the Reset button on the CyberGuard
SG appliance’s rear panel twice, wait 20 – 30 seconds, and try again. Pressing this
button twice within two seconds returns the CyberGuard SG appliance to its factory
default settings.

Enter and confirm a password for your CyberGuard SG appliance. This is the password
for the user root, the main administrative user account on the CyberGuard SG appliance.
It is therefore important that you choose a password that is hard to guess, and keep it
safe.

The new password will take effect immediately, and you will be prompted to enter it when
completing the next step.
