SmartServer IoT Password Needs To Be Changed

SmartServer IoT Password Needs To Be Changed

Starting with SmartServer 3.5, enhanced security was added as a default (System Configuration page). If you update the SmartServer software, then enhanced security is disabled if the older software did not support enhanced security, or if enhanced security was disabled. If you re-image the SmartServer to 3.5 or higher, then enhanced security is enabled by default. Perform one of the following:

  1. Change the password and continue using enhanced security.

  2. Change the password and disable enhanced security (using System Configuration page).

  3. Disable enhanced security, or disable the enhanced security password checking so you do not have to change the password. Perform one of the following using console/SSH:

    Disable enhanced security from console/ssh

    sudo smartserver-secure -all

    Disable only password checking but use all other enhanced security features

    sudo smartserver-secure -pwd


    Once you have disabled enhanced security, close the existing web page that is pointing to the login web page and open a new web page to access the SmartServer.
