Enable password recovery or change the
recovery questions
During the initial log-in process, you were prompted to set up password recovery for
the local device password (also referred to as the admin password). This is the password
that you use to log in locally to the AP with the user name admin. If you forget this
password, you can recover it. The recovery process is supported in the Chrome, Safari,
Firefox, and Internet Explorer browsers.
If you did not enable password recovery during the initial log-in process, you can enable
it. If you did enable password recovery, you change the password recovery questions.
To enable password recovery or change the password recovery questions:
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 http://www.aplogin.net (or 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.
A login window displays.
3. Enter the AP local device password.
The local device password is the one that you specified. The local device password
is case-sensitive.
