This command sets the administration password used to log into various web services.

The administration password is required for Secure ICOM access.

The default admin password for receiver cards is the receiver PSN. For enclosures such as the PwrPak7, CPT7, CPT7700 or SMART7 that has the heading Password on the enclosure label, the default admin password is the 12 character password shown on the label. For a PwrPak7 or SMART7 that has the heading WIFI Password, the default password is the enclosure PSN. For a CPT7 or CPT7700 with no password listed on the label, the default admin password is the enclosure PSN.

The receiver PSN and enclosure PSN can be viewed using the VERSION log

Input example

SETADMINPASSWORD ABC123 XYZ789

Field	Field type	ASCII value	Binary value	Description	Format	Binary bytes	Binary offset
1	Command header	-	-	SETADMINPASSWORD header This field contains the command name for abbreviated ASCII or the message header for ASCII or Binary.	-	H	0
2	OldPassword	Maximum 28 character string		Previous password. If the OldPassword is entered incorrectly more than 5 times in a row, the receiver will output the response Login temporarily suspended and logins will be suspended for 5 or 10 seconds. The consecutive incorrect password count is accumulated across all ports and all commands that use the admin password.	String [28]	variable1 In the binary case, each string field needs to be NULL terminated and additional bytes of padding added to maintain 4-byte alignment, up to the maximum defined by the string size. The next defined field starts immediately at the next 4-byte alignment following the NULL.	H
3	NewPassword	Maximum 28 character string		New password. The new password cannot be blank. The password can contain upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, punctuation and some symbols. Specifically, any character from SPACE (decimal 32, hex 0x20) to TILDE (decimal 126, hex 0x7E) except QUOTE (decimal 34, hex 0x22). If the new password does not meet the above criteria, the receiver will output the response New password is unacceptable.	String [28]	variable1	variable

If the OldPassword or NewPassword contains a SPACE (decimal 32, hex 0x20) or COMMA (decimal 44, hex 0x2C), the password must be enclosed in QUOTE characters (decimal 34, hex 0x22) when entered in ASCII or Abbreviated ASCII.

This password can be restored to default (the receiver PSN) by issuing the FRESET USER_ACCOUNTS command (see FRESET).
