Admin Password vs WiFi Password

Mixing these up is the #1 reason people “reset the wrong password.”

TypeWhat it unlocksWho needs it
Admin passwordRouter / vendo settings at 10.0.0.1 (or /admin)Owner / technician only
WiFi (SSID) passwordConnecting a phone/laptop to the hotspotCustomers (if SSID is secured)
Portal / voucher sessionPaid internet time on the captive portalCustomers after coins/voucher

Resetting the admin password does not automatically change the WiFi password, and forgetting the WiFi password does not require wiping admin settings — unless both were set from the same panel and you are fully locked out.

How to Change the 10.0.0.1 Admin Password

Prefer changing the password in software when you can still log in — this keeps rates, SSID, and vouchers intact.

  1. Connect a laptop or phone to the device WiFi (or LAN cable if available).
  2. Open http://10.0.0.1 or http://10.0.0.1/admin in the address bar (not Google).
  3. Sign in with the current admin username and password.
  4. Open Settings / System / Administration / Password (labels vary by brand).
  5. Enter the old password, then a new strong password (mix letters + numbers; avoid 123456789 forever).
  6. Save, then log out and log back in once to confirm.

Write the new password down offline. Do not post it on the vendo cabinet.


Factory Reset Steps (Physical Button)

Warning: Holding Reset wipes custom settings — rates, SSID name, WiFi password, vouchers, WAN config, and saved admin password all return to factory defaults. Use only when you cannot log in any other way.

  1. Leave the device powered on.
  2. Find the small Reset hole or button (often on the back or bottom).
  3. Press and hold with a pin for about 8–15 seconds until LEDs flash or the unit reboots.
  4. Wait 1–2 minutes for boot to finish.
  5. Reconnect to the default WiFi/SSID if needed.
  6. Open http://10.0.0.1 and log in with the brand default username/password from the table above.
  7. Immediately change the admin password and reconfigure rates / SSID.

Soft Reset vs Factory Reset

  • Reboot / power cycle: unplug 10 seconds — does not clear the password.
  • Factory reset (hold Reset): restores defaults and clears the forgotten password.

When a Password Reset Is Needed

  • You forgot the admin password and cannot open settings.
  • A previous tech left an unknown password.
  • You suspect unauthorized admin access and want a clean slate (after reset, still change the default).
  • The device was second-hand and still locked.

You do not need a factory reset just to pause time, insert coins, or redeem a voucher — those use the customer portal, not admin. See the 10.0.0.1 homepage for portal basics.


Cannot Login — Fixes before Factory Reset

Before assuming a password problem, confirm you are on the right surface. A coin or voucher screen is a sign-in flow, not admin — see captive portal. If you are on a home router rather than a vendo, the brand path in TP-Link router login may apply, and 10.10.10.1 covers a nearby address people confuse with this one. The free tools hub helps confirm which address is live.

It depends on the brand: LPB often uses admin / 123456789; AdoPisoft admin / admin; PisoFi administrator / admin12345; many TP-Link units admin / admin. Always change the default after first login.

If you only forgot the admin password and cannot log in, use the physical Reset button on the device (usually hold 8–15 seconds). Factory reset restores the default username/password and wipes custom settings.

Will Factory Reset Delete Piso WiFi Rates and Vouchers?

Yes on most controllers — rates, SSID, vouchers, and network settings return to defaults. Back up or note your config before resetting. Prefer Change Password in admin if you can still log in.

I Cannot Log in to 10.0.0.1 Admin — What Else Can I Try?

Confirm you are on the device WiFi, try http (not https), try /admin path, clear cache or use incognito, try default credentials for your brand, then factory reset only if locked out.
