About Palo Alto Networks
The entries are logged as firewalls and security appliances and software appliances and management platforms. 3 distinct Palo Alto Networks models are covered.
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 Palo Alto Networks defaults look like
Every entry uses the username admin. Where one is set, admin comes up most often, on 3 entries.
If the Palo Alto Networks 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.
