Providing an authorization password is required only for users whose
devices are authenticated by their MAC addresses or for last-resort users,
neither of which have a regular username or password. The default
authorization password is 3Com.
Changing the password applies both to MAC users and to last-resort
users.
All MAC address-authenticated users or last-resort users must share the
same authorization password on the RADIUS server.
