About the Access Point password

You can set two types of Access Point passwords, administrator password
and guest password. Neither of these passwords is set when the Access
Point is shipped from the factory. Therefore, all users are able to configure
Access Point settings and display the status of the Access Point. If you want
to restrict the privileges of users, you can set a password as described on
the Easy Setup page or the various mode setting pages of Advanced Setup.

Passwords and restrictions on executable functions are as follows.
