# Username and Password Default Username - Disabling Authentication - Resetting Password # Default Username and Password When you access Reactor (the configuration web page) you are met by a login screen, asking for username and password. The default factory username and password is: Username: admin Password: skaarhoj [](https://wiki.skaarhoj.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-06/image-1655883985066.jpg) # Disable Authentication The login screen, where you enter username and password, can be disabled. This removes the need to enter username and password at all. 1. First log in as normal 2. Click 'Settings' in main menu [](https://wiki.skaarhoj.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-06/image-1655884654722.jpg) 3.

While holding the pin, connect USB cable from computer to Blue Pill product. (This will provide 5V, which is usually enough to power it up. If not, you must also provide power with Ethernet PoE after inserting the USB plug) [](https://wiki.skaarhoj.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-06/image-1655886718279.jpg) 5. Almost instantly the SKAARHOJ Updater app will display "progress xx%", and after a few seconds you should see the disk volume '**skaarosboot**' appear on your Desktop (Mac) / My Computer (Win). Please remove the pin now. [](https://wiki.skaarhoj.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-06/image-1655886921845.jpg)
If you are not able to mount the disk (progress stays at 0% or 10%), then please contact SKAARHOJ support. They will assist you in mounting the disk using the BalenaEtcher app instead.
