SnapGear 1.7.8 - Manual (Page 23)

Administrative password
After an IP address is allocated or the SnapGear appliance has been located, the
SnapGear Setup Wizard will prompt you to change the SnapGear appliance
administrative password. This password controls access to the SnapGear Management
Console web administration pages.
SnapGear recommends that you select a new password that is easy for you to remember
but difficult for other people to guess. Your password must be kept secret to maintain the
security provided by the SnapGear appliance.
SnapGear Management Console web administration pages
Your SnapGear appliance is now configured. The Setup Wizard will prompt you to
launch a web browser to open the SnapGear Management Console web administration
pages.
The SnapGear Management Console web administration pages is where you can
configure the additional features of your SnapGear appliance.
To access the web administration pages, select Management Console under SnapGear
in the Start menu. Alternately you can point your web browser to the SnapGear
appliance’s IP address (e.g. http://192.168.0.1).
If you cannot access the web administration pages, check that your browser proxy
settings are correctly configured. In Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, the settings are
modified in Tools, Internet Options, Connection tab, LAN settings.
