Luxul Switch Firmware - Forced Password Change

• Overview

  • Option 1: Return to admin/admin
  • Option 2: Keep new password

  Overview

  Luxul firmware v4.2.0 has a new feature that prompts for a password change upon first login to the switch webUI.

  This webUI behavior has no effect on running JADConfig to setup a Luxul switch with Just Add Power.

  However, if JADConfig is run and then the webUI is opened, the wizard will demand a password change. This by itself is not bad. However, the driver to control switching must have an accurate username/password to function.
