You can change the password for one or more Gateways in the Hardware Tree module, or the Door/Location-based Hardware module.

Step 1            Display the gateway or controller:

·         Select Door/Location-based Hardware from the Doors menu and select Gateway Controllers from the View menu.

or

·         Select Hardware Tree from the Doors menu and expand the Access GW Driver device tree.

Step 2            Change the password for one or more gateways:

·          To change the password for a single device, right-click a Gateway icon and select Reset Gateway Password.
