These are factory default credentials, not the password printed on the sticker under your router. If yours has been changed and you cannot recall it, a 30-second reset button hold returns the device to the defaults above. Know a Avaya model we are missing? Add it.

About Avaya

Avaya was spun out of Lucent in 2000 and sells enterprise telephony and contact-centre systems. The Avaya records here run across the Cajun line.

Reaching the login page

Point a browser at whatever your computer reports as its default gateway. On Windows that is the Default Gateway line from ipconfig; on macOS, Network settings shows it under the active connection.

What the Avaya defaults look like

root is the username on 3 of the 12 entries. 2 of them ask for no username at all. One model shipped with no password at all.

Where one is set, danger comes up most often, on 2 entries. There are 9 different passwords across the Avaya set, so check your exact model rather than assuming. One of them is reached over a protocol that puts the password on the wire in clear text, so work from a machine on the same wired network rather than across the internet, and change the password once you are in.

If the Avaya password has already been changed

There is a recessed reset button on the back or underneath that needs a straightened paperclip. Hold it in for thirty seconds with the unit powered on. Let go when the lights change pattern, and give it a couple of minutes to come back up.

A reset clears more than the password. The Wi-Fi name and key go back to what is printed on the label, port forwards and firewall rules are discarded, and any static addressing is lost. Photograph the settings pages first — it takes two minutes and saves an evening.
