good morning YouTube so this is the MT 50 remote display that's connected to my 40 amp BP solar
or ep ever charge controller so I've had a number of questions from viewers on how do you work with
the device password here how do you enter it how do you change it what is it main screens here you
can do anything you want there's no password involved you're only viewing the different
screens but if you hit the Escape key here and you come down to one of the places where you
can make changes for instance control parameters that's where you set your charge voltage reconnect
and disconnect voltages all of that and again you can scroll through all these screens no
password needed and you can hit escape to get out of there but if you come down here to the
bottom number seven device PSW that's where your device password is saved and set and so that's
the device password prompt there's your original password and of course it's hidden from you you
don't know what it is and there's where you can set your new password so let's just say okay now
you have to enter your original password and any time you need to input a password it'll say input
password it'll show you the password entry field and it's just sitting there it's got the first
digit highlighted and then a bunch of zeros that's your default password six zeros is the default so
you have to enter the password before you can change the password so you would go here and
hit OK and then now here's the original password it's already there but I might want to change the
password since this is device number one maybe I want to make the password one and five zeros it
just takes one button click to go from zero to one if I made this like one-two-three four-five-six I
would have to go over here click up one to go over here 1 2 3 so you can see if you make the password
really complicated it's gonna be hard to enter I would just stick with something like that I think
I'll just go back with the default here just so I don't have to remember you would click OK and then
it says do you want to save that change then it says success and then you hit escape to get back
that's where you can change the password but here let's say we want to change some of the charging
voltages so I come down here to for control parameters I click OK to go into that menu and
let's say I want to change my battery amp hours well I can't do anything here it lets me view
the parameters but I can't change anything if you hit OK now it says input password and then there's
your password prompt and if you haven't changed it from the default just hit OK and now you've
got a prompt if you go up and down you can change your battery tight and if you go left or right you
can go to the next parameter so if I want it to add 30 I would add 30 right there and then
when you click OK it says do you want to save that change there's your save success escape to get out
and then you can hit escape and it'll go to the top and back to your monitoring screen so anyway
that's how you work with the passwords on these so if you haven't changed the password the default is
6 zeros and that's what's displayed hit the ok button and you're logged in if you do want to
change the password number one remember it write it down someplace you know in your users manual or
someplace that it's not going to get lost and then number two if you're going to change your password
I wouldn't make it very complicated because you've got to click up and and left and right arrows
to enter it every time you want to make a change you're gonna have to enter that really complicated
password and there's no password manager on here to automatically fill it in you've got to go up
up up right right up up up right up right it's pretty tedious so I would keep the password pretty
simple you know maybe do one hundred thousand two hundred thousand like for instance this is
control or number one so if you go down here to the bottom this device parameters that shows you
your device ID so this is controller number one if I had a second controller I would call the second
controller number two and on device number one I would make the password one hundred thousand
yeah there's the factory reset number nine factory resets so that's probably how you can reset back
to the default password of six zeros if you forget but it's going to reset everything all
the charging parameters so if you have to go here write down all the parameters that you've changed
because it's going to forget everything when you go here use that one with caution you know make
sure you've got a backup of all your parameters even with the default password it's hard to
figure out how to gain access to the controller it is not obvious anyway that's why I made this
video to show you how to enter the password how to change the password how to change it back
so that's all the parameters that are in there related to password if you need to enter it it
will prompt you for it I think that's where people get confused they expect to enter the password and
then change something but it's the other way around you've got to try to change something
and then it will prompt for the password so I've made some videos on changing the time and date
and also changing some of the charts parameters up those videos over on the left side if you have any
other questions post up in the comment section down below and as always thanks for watching
