For MR1100-100NA, the default admin password should be printed on the device label as well. It may not be the same if someone changed it. To restore the default admin password, you can do a factory reset.

Thanks

Please advise the SKU of your M1. You can find it on the product label.

  John,
  
  Thanks. Unfortunately the label inside the device that would have that information is missing, I was able to get the SKU number off of the label on the box that it came in, but that label doesnt give the password.
  
  Let me research how to do a factory reset on it.

    You can do the factory reset by pressing and holding the HW reset button. You can find it in the battery compartment.
