Administration
After launching Web-888 SDR, the site information will be the default state and will need to be modified by the user.
Login to Administration
To login to the administration, simply add /admin
to the address you are visiting.
Using web-888.local:8073
as an example, to get to the administration, the URL would look like this.
http://web-888.local:8073/admin
After entering the default password changeme
for the admin login, press Enter to login to the administration.
Change Default Password
Since the initial password for the Web-888 SDR administration is changeme
, it can be easily hacked, so you should change the default password after logging into the administration.
Switch the tab to Security and change the default password in the Admin password section to a different password, as shown here.
For tips on how to set a password, see the article: BBC: How to pick the perfect password
After changing the password, press Enter to take effect.
The next time you log in to the Web-888 SDR administration, please use the new password.
Set User Password
If you do not want to make your SDR site public, but only share it with friends, you can set a user password for the site.
Switch the tab to Security and enter a guest password different from the administration password in the User password field and press Enter to save, as shown in the image.
From now on, when other users access this SDR site, they will need to enter the user password before they can use it.
The user password is not a administration password, so you can tell this password to others.
