Security settings

On the Security page, you can specify the authentication information required for logging into the AnywhereUSB web UI or CLI.

Password authentication enabled

For devices with the most recent firmware installed, the Enable password authentication option is selected by default and the feature is enabled. This ensures that a user is required to log in to the web UI. The log in defaults are:

• User name: root
• Password: The unique, default password is printed on the device label.

Note If the default user name and password does not work, it may have been changed. Contact your system administrator for help.

Password authentication not enabled

If your device does not have a password printed on the label, the password authentication feature has not been enabled. You will need to enable the feature set a password.

1. Log in to a Microsoft Windows computer with an account that has administrative privileges.
