20.1 User Passwords
To facilitate increased security the COM51 user interface is locked via a user password. The default
password is, “com3k”. Lock status is specific to the IP address of the PC used to log in. Once the
system is unlocked it will remain unlocked for 8 hours for the PC connected. When you first
access a COM system you will be prompted to enter a password as shown below in Figure 19.

Once the default password has been entered you can change the password requirement from the
Lock tab of the COM51 user interface as shown below in Figure 20.

To change the password, enter an alpha numeric text in the Password field and click submit.
If you would like to allow read only access without a password start your password with “Read”, as
in Readabcd123. Note: no spaces in password.
