Password Messages

If the IN1804 is protected by a password, the following password message prompts you for
the password to access the switcher features.
] Password ]
The prompt requires a password, followed by a carriage return. The prompt is repeated if
the correct password is not entered.
• For initial setup: On the rear panel of the IN1804, a label is attached containing the
following text:
Pursuant to California Senate Bill 327, the password for all
accounts on this device have been set to the device serial
number. Passwords are case sensitive. See user guide for reset
instructions.
This means that, for initial setup, you must enter the serial number of your unit at the
password prompt (the serial number can be found on another label on the rear panel).
This password allows administrator level access.
If the correct password is entered, access is granted and the command prompt is
displayed. If the password is incorrect, the ] Password ] prompt reappears.
NOTE: Performing a unit factory reset by entering a
Absolute system reset SIS command on page 77) or a
panel Reset button (see page 43) removes the serial number password, leaving
the unit with no password.
• After a password change: After the initial access, you can keep the serial number
password or change it. You can also set administrator and user level passwords (see
the Passwords SIS commands
When you enter the new password correctly, the unit responds with one of the
following, depending on the password entered:
] Login Administrator ]
•
] Login User ]
•
(If the password is not accepted, the Password prompt reappears.)
The Login Administrator response represents administrator level access, while the
Login User response represents user level access. If the passwords are the same for both
administrator and user, the unit defaults to administrator privileges.
If the unit is not password-protected, it is ready to accept SIS commands immediately after
