Webswitch 1216H lost user and password
« on: 2024-07-27, 13:50:23 »
Hello maybe, somebody can help me to bring up the webswitch and all around to live :-)

We hade and massive Internet drop out. Now everything is on again and works, only the webswitch not.

I can not make any changes to the configuration requests a password and user.

I noticed the password and user, but it does not work any more.

In the last time only one action (without user and passord) was made: Switching off the Watchdog function.

Now after Internet-repair I can not do any "Submit" any more and many configurations have gone I did serveral years ago..

Can somebody help me to find how to login again (I have not need that the last 6 years..)

Thanks so much - everthing is connected to switching box with the Webswitch as the "Master" .


Tnx so much for any help.

Hi

connect the USB cable between the Webswitch and your PC. Start the Microbit Setup Manager program. Under the advanced tab you can select "set default settings". after that you can start over with the settings

Thank you dear Mike,

I don't find a manual for exactly this switch (only for the "RC") - I think I remember that is a speciell USB Cable,
Mini-USB to norma USB or so?

(I have to dismantle a whole switching unit, so it would be nice to get the right cable, before doin this)

Tnx dear Mike and have a nice weekend!

Tnx Mike for the info.

As I maybe have to do a complete new installation, is there a pdf-manual available?

(of course I have screenshots from all configurations INCLUDING the password - but it does not work any more with that,
I think it was the default-one "wlxxxx or so and as user RC-1216 xxx ). I didn't change that.

I never needed a password when doing changes in config - only Submit + "apply changes" and it works - until today, so
I am a little bit confused,hi.

Tnx again for your time dear Mike!

There is no pdf manual only instructions at www.webswitch.se

There is no default password. The password settings are blank when delivered.

if you have the unit public reachable it can be robots which have set the password it has happened many times so always set  password.

Tnx again Mike,

I did it today, made all configuration again - and it works !

I understand, you suggest a strong password and user under IP-Settings "webpage user - view + save" correct?

Thank you again for your help!
