Recover the local device admin password

During the initial log-in process, you must both customize the local device password
and set up password recovery. If three local login failures occur, you can try to recover
the password. This recovery process is supported in the Internet Explorer, Firefox,
Chrome, and Safari browsers.
To recover your local device password:
1. Connect your computer or mobile device to the AP in one of the following ways
• Connect directly to the AP's WiFi network or LAN.
• Connect to the same network that the AP is connected to.
2. Launch a web browser and enter www.aplogin.net in the address field.
Instead, if you are connected to same network as the AP, enter the LAN IP address
that is assigned to the AP. For information about finding the IP address, see Find the
IP address of the AP when you cannot use aplogin.net on page 24.
