Why am I not able to login using the default password ?
...
As of January 1st 2020, Lantronix was required by the state of California to make a password change per unit.
Here is an article talking about this: https://www.hwglaw.com/compliance-planning-for-california-iot-security-requirements/
The new law stated that as of January 1st all units must have a unique password. So due to the requirements by the state of California, (where Lantronix is based,) each unit has a unique password.
Due to the limited size on the product the Device ID could not be added, so it has been incorporated into the 2D Bar-code on the unit.
The 2-Dimension Bar-code needs to be scanned with a bar code reading software that can be downloaded onto a phone from (Google play or the iTunes store,) and then scan the barcode.
After the (S2) you will find a string of 32 characters. The last 8 digits are to be used as the Password to the device.
Username will be as mentioned in the User Guide respectively
Password : (Last 8 Digits of the Device-ID from bar code scan)
...
What is the new default password ?
A recent legislation by the State of California (SB 327) requires all connected devices to have unique device specific default password. Lantronix complied with this requirement in all it’s box devices using one of the following two changes :
For all box devices except E2XX series of Cellular routers, default password is the last eight digits of the Device ID.
For E2XX series routers, all devices will have the same default password described in the manual; but users will be forced to change the admin and root passwords to a new password of their choice before allowing any configuration or access operation in the device.
This change is applicable only for standalone box devices and not the embedded products from Lantronix.
The device ID is usually available in the product label. The example below shows label from an SGX device and how to identify the Device ID.

In some devices with smaller foot print due to space limitation the Device ID is included in the QR code on the label. You may use any QR code data reader application in a smart phone to read the data. For example the data read from QR code in an XDirect could like the following string :
(V1)1(C1)7(P1)XDT2321002-01(R1)C12(D1)20W13(L1)THAILAND 02(S1)xxxxxxxxxxxx(S2)
...
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXX(M1)xxxxxxxxxxxx(E1).
...
There is also a secondary option to know the Device-ID i.e., by Logging in through Telnet.
The Device-ID would be available right in the Banner information of the Login page.
You can just use the Last 8-digits from it to log in to the device as shown above from the 32 available characters.
In the above example, the 32 digits after the marker “(S2)” is the Device ID of the device (shown as 32 x). The last 8 digits are the default Password to the device. The username continues to the same as described in the user guide for your device.
For all devices other than E2xx cellular routers, this new default password scheme is applicable only for devices manufactured after 1 Jan 2020. Older devices will continue to have the old default password described in the user guide even if you are running newer firmware versions.
⚠ It is highly recommended by Lantronix to change the password as soon as you log into the device as a best practice.
