Bob, your response telling that user he "forgot doing this" was...kinda condescending.


You were wrong Bob. I just unboxed my brand new Airport express, launched the Airport config utility and clicked "upgrade firmware". Boom, it asks for password. Literally this has been out of the box for...2 minutes. I don't think I forgot setting a password.


In order to fix something, one must admit there is a problem. This is probably why 3 years after the original post this is still an issue.
