Answer | Firmware version 8.9.0.4 and later includes a new feature to change the default admin password when logging into the Web Manager. Â The default admin login credential is admin (username) and motorola (password). Â If the admin login password is at default, the Change User Password screen prompt appears to change the admin password. Â It is required to change the admin password before access to the Web Manager. Â
If logging into the Web Manager with the customized admin password is unsuccessful, the only option is to perform a factory reset on the SBG6580 to login with the default admin password. Â Performing a Factory Reset will erase any configuration changes that have been made and will require the gateway to be reconfigured. Â For instructions on how to do a factory reset, please refer to Answer # 8878 - SBG6580 (v8.5.x) Factory Reset.
