Unable to change the default password on Switch

[thierry8p]

I am on mac osX 10.13.6

I cannot change the password on the switch GS308E

I paste the new password in

After clicking Apply

nothing happens

Note to Netgear: I can't beleive the default password is "password", should be the serial number of the machine. We need stuff to be secure out of the box.

WOW, I just found the solution to the issue.

When pasting, there is a Javascript that does NOT get activated. Unless a key is TYPED in.

Pasting the password, adding a space and deleting the space triggers the JS...

Then "Apply" works.

To be fixed in front end code to allow pasting.
