Assigning a Password

In the first step of the setup wizard you can assign a Password for the user interface. On
delivery, the configuration of your Gigaset SE361 WLAN is protected with the admin
Password. To prevent unauthorised changes to the configuration, you should set your
own Password and change this Password from time to time.
ì
Enter the default password (or the new password you have assigned) in the Current
password field.
ì
Enter a new password in the New password field, and repeat it in the Confirm new
password field.
The Password can be up to 32 alphanumerical characters long. The password is case
sensitive. Avoid proper names and all too obvious words. Use a combination of let-
ters and numbers.
