### Set a Logon Password for Web Based Management

We recommend setting a logon password to prevent unauthorized access to Web Based Management.

1. Start your web browser.
2. Type "http://machine's IP address" in your browser's address bar (where "machine's IP address" is the machine's IP address).
   For example: http://192.168.1.2

   - If you are using a Domain Name System or enable a NetBIOS name, you can type another name, such as "SharedPrinter" instead of the IP address.

     - For example:

       http://SharedPrinter

     If you enable a NetBIOS name, you can also use the node name.

     - For example:

       http://brwxxxxxxxxxxxx

     The NetBIOS name can be found in the Printer Settings Page.

   - For Macintosh, access Web Based Management by clicking the machine's icon on the Status Monitor screen.

4. Click Administrator.
5. Type the password you want to use in the Enter New Password box (up to 32 characters).
