Press and hold the reset button at the back for 10 seconds while the unit is fully powered on and wait 2 minutes, it will reset the username/password to admin/password and the IP address to DHCP.

First try using the Default

username: admin

Password: password

If doesn`t work;

1. Look for the Init button on back of device.

2. Press and hold the red button for 10 seconds. The device will start beeping (no beep for LS-W TGL/R1). The password and IP address should change to default.
