This FAQ addresses default login credentials for QNAP network devices, including both QSW managed switches and QNAP routers.

Important

For enhanced security, QNAP recommends:

QNAP routers: All routers have a consistent default password across all QuRouter versions.
- The MAC address of the router omitting any punctuation and capitalizing any letters.
  For example, if the MAC address is 00:0a:0b:0c:00:01, the default password is 000A0B0C0001.
- You can find the device MAC address with Qfinder Pro or from a label on the device listed as "MAC".
QNAP QSW managed switches: The default password for QSW managed switches is determined by two criteria:
- The version of QSS deployed on the switch
- QSW models (for switches running QSS Pro version 4.x and later)

For details, see the below table for the default admin password for switches.

Firmware Version	Switch Model	Default Password
QSS Pro 4.0 and later	QSW-IM3216	Your switch's QNAP Cloud Key, with all letters capitalized and no hyphen. For example, if the QNAP Cloud Key is Q0123-4567, the default password is Q01234567.
	QSW-M3224
	QSW-M7308R	The MAC address of the switch omitting any punctuation and capitalizing any letters. For example, if the MAC address is 00:0a:0b:0c:00:01, the default password is 000A0B0C0001.
