There is no default password. None is needed unless you have configured one. If that's the case, and you don't know what it is, use a toothpick to push the reset button on the AEX while it's plugged into the wall outlet. Hold until the light starts to blink fast.
The AEX is accessed and configured using Airport Utility. It also came with a user manual.
The default password for the AirPorts is....
public
Reference this Apple Support Document

Under what default settings will my base station.......
AirPort Base Station passwords are "public."
that was fast thanks. I have not configured one but I go to manual setup or update firmware and the first thing it does is ask for my password...
public did not work but I tried the soft reset mentioned in the document and that did thanks.
public did not work because you previously setup a device password the first time that you configured the device. You likely do not remember doing this.
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.
I can't believe I did the same thing. I was one step away from pin resetting it. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much!
what is the default password for Airport Express?
