This article will help you change your node's admin password. If you want to change the password of your Linksys cloud account using the Linksys app, click here.
During setup, the node creates a secured system-generated admin password (this secured password is not visible). You must change this password to log in locally.
NOTE: For Linksys MX4200AB-UK, the default administrator password of an unconfigured node is admin. After you set up the node or has an internet connection, the default admin password changes to the unique pre-assigned WiFi password.
