STEP 3 Set up the SnapGear appliance’s password
and LAN connection settings
Launch Internet Explorer (or your preferred web browser) and navigate
to 192.168.0.1.
The SnapGear Management Console will display.
Select Quick Setup Wizard from the center of the page.
You will be prompted to log in. Enter the initial user name and password
for your SnapGear 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 black Reset button on the SnapGear appliance’s rear panel
twice, wait 20 – 30 seconds, and try again. Pressing this button twice
within 2 seconds returns the SnapGear appliance to its factory default
settings.
Enter and confirm a password for your SnapGear appliance. This is the
password for the user root, the main administrative user account on the
SnapGear 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.
