“—” means there is no factory value: the field is left empty or a unique password is printed on the router’s label.
Default credentials work only until someone changes them. If none of these pairs fits, the password was changed; a factory reset restores the default.

How to log in to a SonicWall firewall
SonicWall firewalls (TZ, NSa and others) keep the same factory defaults across generations, which our database confirms for nine models:
- Connect a computer to the X0 (LAN) port with a cable.
- Give the computer a fixed address. SonicWall notes that out of the box the appliance may not hand out addresses, so set the computer to
192.168.168.2, mask255.255.255.0. - Open https://192.168.168.168 and accept the certificate warning.
- Sign in with
admin/password.
The first login
On the first visit SonicOS offers a setup wizard; you can skip it and go straight to the interface. Newer SonicOS 7 firmware requires you to change the default password at the first login, and also after an upgrade if it was never changed. On older firmware, change it yourself under Appliance → Base Settings → Administrator Name & Password.
When 192.168.168.168 does not answer
- Check the connection. SonicWall suggests pinging 192.168.168.168 from your computer; no reply means a cable, port or addressing problem.
- The LAN address was changed. In a working network the firewall is usually the default gateway. Check your gateway and open it over HTTPS.
- Management is limited to certain ports or addresses. On a company firewall, ask the administrator rather than resetting.
