how do you change the password of airport express
There are two passwords that you can change on the AirPort Express: 1) Base Station Administrator's, and 2) Wireless Security.
Which one do you need to change and what version of the AirPort Utility will you be using to do so?
thank you so much for your response
I computer got hacked throught my internet connection and I guess that the person who did that also has my airport password
so I guess I would need to change WIRELESS SECU RITY
The version is one I got 3 years ago
To change the Wireless Security password on your AirPort, you will need to use the AirPort Utility. I am going to assume that you have version 6.x of this utility.
Thanks for your great help
do u think i should also change the Base Station Administrator's,
just to be safe?
I am sorry if my question sounds stupid but i am not very good at this 🙂
No, it's actually a very good question. Yes, you should always change the router's administrator password to prevent inadvertent users making unwanted changes. This would be true for any manufacturers' routers not just those from Apple.
Note; however, this is not fool-proof, as most routers have a reset button that will disable all passwords if accessed.
u have been a great help really appreciate it
Cheers
You're very welcome! I'm glad you got it worked out ...
