• If the Synergis Cloud Link appliance is already enrolled in Security Center 5.10.1 or later:
  • You can view the Synergis Cloud Link appliance password using the Hardware Inventory task in Config Tool.

1. Log on to the Synergis Cloud Link appliance.
2. Click Configuration > Users .
3. On the User configuration page, select the user whose password you want to change.
4. Enter the required password information:
   • For your own password, enter your current password, then enter and confirm your new password.
   • For another user, enter and confirm the new password, then, in the Security verification section, enter the password you used to log on.
5. Click Save.
6. For appliances that were already enrolled in Security Center, change the password in Config Tool to synchronize the appliance with the Access Manager role it is connected to.

The new password is applied immediately.
