Incontrol use prevents direct admin

Hello Scooter,
Did you know if you are using InControl2 to manage and secure your device and you followed the guide on “Securing InControl Access” at Quick and Easy Ways to Secure Your Router then you can recover the InControl2 generated admin password from the device page and still use that to locally administer the router?

To get the password, within InControl2 go to the dashboard for the device, you will see “Admin User / Password” a few lines down with the passed hidden as “********”, just do as it says “(click to reveal)”.

Then when “(click to reveal)”, the password will change from the “********” to the last known valid password for the device like this example

Simple click on the password once to highlight it and then copy it to your clipboard or somewhere useful to you.

You can also download a CSV off all of your the devices in a group from the “Group Settings” pages, look for the blue line of text under the Admin security options.

Happy to Help,
Marcus :slight_smile:
