Perle Default KVM Passwords
This page lists 6 confirmed default credentials for Perle equipment, covering 6 models. The pairing you are most likely to need is admin with superuser.
Entries are reachable over console, https and telnet. 2 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.

About Perle
The Perle records here run across the CS- and Iolan lines. The entries are logged as KVM switches and serial consoles and routers and gateways. They cover more than one level of access — admin and enable.
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 Perle defaults look like
admin is the username on 4 of the 6 entries. One entry asks for no username at all. 2 of them shipped with no password at all.
Where one is set, superuser comes up most often, on 3 entries. 2 of them are 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 Perle 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.
