• 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.

Fix Through WebUI

Option 1

Perform this Option to return the switch to the default username/password of admin/admin.

1. Open the web interface of the Luxul switch

4. In Date & Time, set however you would like.

6. Login to the switch with username/password of admin/Goodbye007
7. Go to Configuration > Security > Switch > Users, click on the admin user, and change the password back to 'admin'

8. Fin!
