MSBBN: Your password is not accepted when you try to log on to your base station
SYMPTOMS
When you try to log on to the base station, your password is
not accepted.
CAUSE
The password is incorrect or you have forgotten it.
RESOLUTION
Restore the base station to the factory default settings, log on to the Microsoft
Base Station Management tool again as administrator, and then use the
Management menu to assign a new password. To do this, follow these steps:
- Restore the base station to the factory default settings:
- Use a pointed object to press the reset button on the back
of the base station, while you watch the power indicator light on the front of
the base station. Hold down the button until the light starts to blink green
and orange, or for about five seconds.
- Release the button, wait for the light to turn solid
orange, and then green.
This process may take several minutes. Do not unplug the base
station while you are restoring it.
- Start the Base Station Management
Tool after the settings are restored. Type admin as the
password on the Logon page.
- On the Management menu, click Change password, and then follow the directions that appear on the screen to change your password.
The base station password can contain three to 16 alphanumeric characters. It is case sensitive.
- On the Management menu, click Reset Base Station.
- Follow the instructions that appear on the screen to finish resetting the base station.
Note Do not try to log on to the base station until the settings are
restored and the power light on the base station is solid green.
