I would factory reset the satellite. Press in on the reset button until the top led light turns on AMBER, then let go. Wait for the top led to pulsate WHITE. Press the black sync button in back of the RBR then do the same on the satellite. The sync should begin and hopefully BLUE will be seen on the top of the satellite.

- You should be able to sync the passwords by factory resetting the Satellite then syncing it with the Router. You will not loose any configiration by factory resetting the Satellite.
- Otherwise if you don’t want to factory reset the Satellite, you can also set the password in the Satellite by telneting to the Satellite and then set the password. Please let me know if you want to do it this way and you want the command to do that. :)
