How do I change the Administrator password on my COVR devices?

Note: If you forgot your password, you will need to reset the router and the extender/point(s) back to the factory default settings. Unfortunately you will lose all your settings and will need to reconfigure the router and extender/point(s). To reset each device, use a paper clip and press & hold the reset button (found on the back) for 10 seconds and then release. Allow 1-2 minutes to reboot. Follow Step 1 below to launch the setup wizard.

Step 1: Open a web browser (such as Internet Explorer) and enter http://covr.local. or the IP address of the router (http://192.168.0.1).

 

 

Step 2: Enter your administrator password. If you have not changed the default password, leave this field blank. Click Log In.

 

 

Step 3: Hover your mouse curser over Management and then click System Admin.

 

Step 4: To change the Administrator password, enter a new password in the Password field and then click Save.
