4. Log in using the “admin” as the default User ID and “symbol” as the default Password.
If the default login is successful, the Change Admin Password window displays. Change
the default login and password to significantly decrease the likelihood of hacking.

the Apply button.
Once the admin password has been created/updated, the System Settings screen displays.
If the AP-5131 has not had its System Settings (device name, location etc.) configured, see
Configuring System Settings on page 4-2.
Once the password has been set, refer back to Configuring Security Options on page 6-2 to
determine which AP-5131 security feature to configure next.
6.2.1 Resetting the AP-5131 Password
The AP-5131 Command Line Interface (CLI) enables users who forget their password to reset it to the
factory default (symbol). From there, a new password can be defined.
To reset the AP-5131 password back to its default setting:
1. Connect one end of a null modem serial cable to the AP-5131’s serial connector.
2. Attach the other end of the null modem serial cable to the serial port of a PC running
HyperTerminal or a similar emulation program.
3. Set the HyperTerminal program to use 19200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow
control and auto-detect for terminal emulation.
CAUTION Restoring the AP-5131’s configuration back to default settings
changes the administrative password back to “symbol.” If restoring
the configuration back to default settings, be sure you change the
administrative password accordingly.
