Default ClickShare Passwords
ClickShare devices come with specific default passwords for different functionalities. It is important to know which one you need for the task at hand.
| Item | Default Password |
|---|---|
| ClickShare Wi-Fi | clickshare |

The clickshare password is used to connect your devices, such as laptops or mobile phones, directly to the ClickShare Base Unit's Wi-Fi network. This is often necessary for setup or direct connectivity where an existing network is not available or preferred.
The admin password is for accessing the ClickShare Configurator, which is a web-based interface used to manage and configure the settings of your ClickShare Base Unit. Through the configurator, you can customize network settings, update firmware, manage security features, and much more.
