The web interface on the Xbee Gateway does not have the users menu item so how do I change the SSH login password from the well known dbps to something a little less well known?

I am not aware of any way to change the password on this product. From all indications, you can’t change it.

Really old post, but an easy answer for anybody who stumbles across this.

SSH to the Xbee Gateway using the default account (python/dbps). Once connected you are at a linux command terminal and you can run the “passwd” command to change the password.
