Change the controller password

Before changing the controller password, you must have the current password.
IMPORTANT:
If the existing password is forgotten or lost, there is no way to recover or change the password.
We recommend changing the controller password periodically to protect the programs and functions in the controller.
Passwords must be 8 to 64 characters long, which can include letters, numbers, spaces, and any keyboard symbols.
