RecoveringaPassword

Enable Recover Password when setting up the SyncServer so it is available when needed.
This can be done using the ADMIN - Users or WIZARD-1st Setup pages
To recover a lost or forgotten password:
1. Enter the username, select the Recover Password checkbox, and click the LOGIN button.
2. Answer the Recovery Question and click the RESET button. The SyncServer sends a mes-
sage to the email address of the username.
3. When the email arrives, log into the SyncServer using the new password provided in the
email message.

If Recover Password wasn't enabled:
If the SyncServer has multiple user accounts, you may be able to have another user log
n
in and change the password for you.
If there is no other way to log into the SyncServer, use the hardware jumper to restore
n
the factory configuration. See Restoring the Factory Default Configuration (on page
119).
