Login

Under Login you can change the password for a username or for the currently logged in user. To be on the safe side, you should change the administrator's password immediately or create a new user and delete the administrator account.

Make a note of the registration information. The password can only be reset by installing new firmware. All configurations are lost in the process.

NTLM Configuration

You can add further users under Add User. The pre-set password can be changed via the Beckhoff Device Manager.

Configured Users

In this list you can see all accounts of the existing users. You can delete existing users by clicking on the X and confirming.

To permanently save changes to user names or passwords, reboot the EK9160.
