5 Configuring the HG523a
5.1 Changing the Administrator Password Used
for Logging In to the Web-Based Configuration
Utility
For safety reasons or to make the password easy to remember, you can change the
administrator password for login after logging in to the Web-based configuration
utility.
To change the password, do as follows:
Step 1
Log in to the Web-based configuration utility.
Step 2
Choose Advanced > Maintenance > Account in the navigation tree to
display the system management page.
Step 3
Select the admin from the User name drop-down combo box.
Step 4
Enter the Current password in the Current Password text box. Enter the new
password in the New Password text box. Then enter the new password again
in the Confirm password text box for confirmation.
Step 5
Click Submit to save the settings.
After you change the password successfully, the current page jumps to the page for
logging in to the Web-based configuration utility. To log in to the Web-based
configuration utility, enter the new password, and then click OK.
If you forget the user name or password that has been changed, you can
restore the default settings of the HG523a by pressing and holding the
RESET button for over six seconds. Then, the user name and password
that are used for logging in to the Web-based configuration utility are
restored to default values. After you restore the default settings, however,
your customized data is lost. Therefore, use this function with caution.
5.2 Enabling or Disabling the Wireless
Network Function
You can quickly enable or disable the wireless network function by pressing the
WLAN button on the HG523a. To enable the wireless network function, press and hold
the WLAN button for over one second, and then release the button. You can disable the
wireless network function in the same way. The WLAN indicator shows whether the
wireless network function is enabled.
