Ubiquiti - Login Credentials - Change Login Credentials

The Username, Password, and SSH keys can be changed:

  1. Log into the UniFi controller.
  2. Go to Settings - click the gear icon towards the bottom-left of the page.
  3. Navigate to the System section.
  4. Set the desired changes in the Network Device SSH Authentication section.
  5. Click Apply Changes.

NOTE: After applying the changes, the adopted access points should automatically update with the new credentials.

  • It is suggested to wait for a few minutes here.

If the new credentials do not work, then force the changes onto an access point by doing the following:

  1. Log into the UniFi controller.
  2. Go to Devices.
  3. Click on an access point that needs updating - this will pop open a panel on the right side of the page.
  4. Click the Settings icon - it looks like a gear.
  5. Click Manage.
  6. Click Provision.

NOTE: The status of the access point will change to Provisioning.

  • Once the status of the access point has changed back to Connected, you should be able to SSH into the access point using the updated credentials.
