Password Management
Changing the Admin Password
This section provides information about managing your password in the Admin
Mode and User Mode.
You can change the Admin Password by doing the following:
1.
Enter Admin Mode (refer to page 9 for details).
2.
Press and hold + 9 until the ADMIN (A) indicator light flashes BLUE.
3.
Enter the new password and press (The Password must be a minimum
of 6 digits and a maximum of 16 digits). The UNLOCK indicator light flashes
GREEN three times. See note below.
4.
Re-enter the new Admin Password and press . The UNLOCK indicator light
will be solid GREEN for two seconds and then the ADMIN (A) indicator light
will become solid BLUE indicating that the Admin Password has been changed
successfully.
Note: If the LOCK indicator light flashes RED three times, this indicates
that the password is less than 6 digits or more than 16 digits. Enter a
password that contains 6 – 16 digits after the ADMIN (A) indicator light
flashes BLUE intermittently.
1.
If the LOCK indicator light flashes RED intermittently and then the
ADMIN (A) BLUE intermittently, go back to step 3. This is due to one
of the following conditions:
•
You waited longer than 10 seconds before entering a password.
•
The new password was entered incorrectly.
2.
If no activity is detected within two minutes in the Admin Mode, the
Aegis Padlock DT will return to the Standby Mode.
