GL.iNet Default Router Passwords
This page lists 2 confirmed default credentials for GL.iNet equipment, covering 2 models. The pairing you are most likely to need is root with a password you set at first login.
Entries are reachable over http and ssh. 1 of these entries use a protocol that sends the password in clear text, so use them on a trusted network and change the password once you are in.
root| Model | Protocol | Access | Username | Password |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GL-SERIES ROUTERS (FLINT, SLATE, BERYL, SF1200), WEB ADMIN PANEL | HTTP | Admin | leave blank | you create this on first boot |
| GL-SERIES ROUTERS (SSH / LUCI) | SSH | Root | root | you create this on first boot |
About GL.iNet
2 distinct GL.iNet models are covered. They cover more than one level of access — admin and root.
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 GL.iNet defaults look like
Usernames vary; root is the one that appears most, on a single entry. One entry asks for no username at all. On 2 entries there is no factory password; it is set when the device is first set up.
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 GL.iNet 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.
