Check the configuration matrix for the most commonly used authentication and encryption
combinations in the Quick Installation and Getting Started Guide to ensure that the access point
is correctly configured.

Lost Password

The only way to recover a lost password is by setting the access point to its default configuration.
Refer to the section “Reset the Access Point Default Settings” for instructions.

Reset the Access Point Default Settings

If all other recovery measures fail and the access point is still not functioning properly, take any of
these steps:

Reset the access point’s hardware using the console interface, Web interface, or through a power
reset.

Reset the access point to its default configuration by pressing the reset button on the back panel
for 5 seconds or more. Then use the default user name “admin” with the password “admin” to
access the management interface.
