Setting the administrator password
The administrator password controls access to the Administration Web pages for the 
Gateway 7001 Series self-managed AP. This setting is also available on the Basic Settings 
administration page. When you set the administrator password in either place and apply 
the change, the new password is updated and shared by all access points in the cluster.
Navigating to administrator password setting
To set the administrator password, click 
Advanced > Password
 on the Administration Web 
page. The Change the Administrator password screen opens. Update the boxes as described 
in the following section.
Setting the administrator password
To set a new administrator password, fill in the password, then re-confirm. The password 
setting requires that you know the existing password before you can change it. This is to 
prevent an unauthorized person from changing the password in a case where you leave 
an open browser unattended.
