You can prevent unauthorized users from reconfiguring the wireless device and viewing configuration 
information. Typically, you want network administrators to have access to the wireless device while you 
restrict access to users who connect through a terminal or workstation from within the local network.

To prevent unauthorized access to the wireless device, you should configure one of these security 
features:

Username and password pairs, which are locally stored on the wireless device. These pairs 
authenticate each user before that user can access the wireless device. You can also assign a specific 
privilege level (read only or read/write) to each username and password pair. For more information,

Cisco, and the default password is Cisco. Usernames and passwords are case-sensitive.

Characters TAB, ?, $, +, and [ are invalid characters for passwords.

Username and password pairs stored centrally in a database on a security server. For more
