Setting and Referencing Device Information
Setting the Device Password

This section describes the procedure for setting or changing a device's password. (This function can only be used with Canon devices.)
When a password is set for a device, the password must be input to perform the operations requiring administrator's privileges such as configuring protocol settings and device information. You can set a password for each device.

The password set with NetSpot Device Installer for some devices may differ from the administrator password used on the operation panel of the unit or on Remote UI.
It is recommended that you use a password that cannot be easily guessed by anyone other than the administrator.

  1. In the device list, select the device, and then select [Change Password] from the [Device] menu.
    You can also select [Change Password] by right-clicking a device in the list (with a Macintosh, by clicking it while holding down the control key) and selecting the item from the menu displayed.

  2. Set or change the password in the [Change Device Password] dialog box.

    [Change Device Password] dialog box
    [Old password]:
    Input the password that is currently set for the device. If no password is set, leave this blank.
    [New password]:
    Input the new password to be set.

    [Confirm]:
    Input the new password a second time.

  3. Click the [OK] button.
    The new password is enabled.
