Appliances ships to you with a default password that enables you to access the hardware box or the virtual machine. Cloudflare recommends that you change this password after the first boot.

## Default password to access hardware Appliances

The default password for Appliances is the serial number (also known as a Service Tag for Dell devices), all uppercase followed by an `!` (exclamation mark). For example, `A1B2C3D!`

## Default password to access Virtual Appliances

The default password for Virtual Appliances is the last seven characters of your license key, all uppercase, plus an `!` (exclamation mark).

For example, if your license key is `mconn-abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz`, your default password will be `TUVWXYZ!`.
