Admin password

The Admin password is the password you use to sign into the MiFi Admin web UI. Initially, it is the same as the default password for your MiFi primary network.

To view the initial/default Admin web UI password, tap the icon on the Home screen.

The default name and password for your MiFi primary network and Admin web UI is displayed.

You are prompted to change the Admin password upon first login.

NOTE: You can set up separate Wi-Fi passwords both primary and guest networks in the Wi-Fi tabs, but they are different from the Admin password, which is for this web UI.

Changing the Admin password

To change the Admin password:

1. Click the down arrow next to Sign Out in the top-right corner of any web UI page and select Change Password.

2. Enter your current Admin password, then enter a new password and confirm it.

NOTE: The new password must have a length between 8 and 32 characters and contain the following: upper-case letter, lower-case letter, digit, and special character.

3. Select a security question from the drop-down list and type an answer to question in the Answer field.

NOTE: Answers are case-sensitive.

4. Click Save Changes.

The next time you sign in to the Admin web UI, use the new Admin password. If you cannot remember the password, click Forgot Admin password?. After you correctly answer the security question you set up, the current password is displayed.

You can also view the current Admin password on the MiFi touchscreen by tapping Help > Admin Website or Menu > Settings > Advanced Settings.

Hiding the Admin password on the touchscreen

To hide the Admin password so it is not visible on the touchscreen:

  1. Click the down arrow next to Sign Out in the top-right corner of any web UI page and select Change Password.
