Setting the Administrator Password & Access Password

iGuard has three "global” passwords¹. The System Administrator Password is used to access the system menu and to configure the system (such as accessing the setup menu in the last example). The User Administrator Password is used to manage the user accounts. The Door Access Password is used to release the door strike in Quick Access option.

Follow these steps to assign & edit the three passwords:-

Note:

You must enable the Door Access Password before it can be used, by specifying the corresponding authorized time and terminals. It is disabled in the factory settings. The only way to enable it is via the Internet browser (discussed in later sections), under the “Quick Access" page as follows: -

As shown in the figure above, there is no authorized time assigned in the default setting, and none of the terminals is selected neither. You must specify the authorized period by first clicking on any one of the Day buttons (i.e., Sunday to Saturday and Holiday buttons), then select the desire time period (in 30-min interval). The following figure shows a typical setting: -

After specifying the authorized time and terminals, you can gain access using the Door Access Password, and it is illustrated in the following steps: -
