Change the System Administrator Password

Your printer ships as an open system. In an open system, all users have access to all features on the device, including all system administration features. To restrict access to system administration features, change the system administrator password.

Notes:

• Some advanced settings require that you change the administrator password.

• If you change the administrator password, ensure that you store the password in a secure location.

• Depending on when the device was manufactured, the default password may be the device serial number or 1111. Xerox recommends that you changed the default password after you configure the printer.

• If you change the administrator password, to return the device to an open system, reset the device to factory defaults. Any settings that you configured are lost when you reset the device to factory defaults.

To Change the Administrator Password:

1. Access the printer's Embedded Web Server and log in as a System Administrator.

   1. From your computer or network-connected device (on the same network as the printer) open a Web browser.

   2. In the Web browser address field, enter the IP address of your printer and then press Enter. The Embedded Web Server home page will be displayed.

   3. Click on the Log In button at the top, right of the page. The User Accounts window will be displayed.

   4. Click on admin.

   5. Enter the System Administrator password in the field provided, and then click on the Log In button.
      
      Note: Depending on when the device was manufactured, the default password may be the device serial number or 1111.
