“—” 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.

Ubiquiti: which family do you have?

Ubiquiti makes several product lines, and each logs in differently:

  • UniFi (Dream Machine, Cloud Gateway, access points, switches): set up and managed in the UniFi Network app or web console, not on a page of each device.
  • airMAX and older airRouter devices with airOS, which have their own web page. Our database lists the airRouter family at 192.168.1.1 with ubnt / ubnt.

UniFi default credentials

According to Ubiquiti’s help center, factory defaults are used mainly for SSH and recovery, before a device is adopted:

  • UniFi consoles and gateways (UDM Pro, Cloud Key, UXG Pro and similar): root / ui; older devices root / ubnt.
  • UniFi access points and switches: ui / ui; older devices ubnt / ubnt.

Once a device is adopted, those defaults no longer apply: the UniFi application assigns its own device credentials, which the administrator can see in the site settings under device authentication. New UniFi consoles are set up in the UniFi app or through their own setup page, where you create the owner account.

When the login fails

  • ubnt / ubnt is rejected on a UniFi device. It is adopted, or it is a newer model with ui / ui. Use the console that manages it.
  • You do not know the console password. A factory reset of the console erases its configuration; on a business network ask the administrator first.
  • The device is not on 192.168.1.x. Check your default gateway or the device list of your main router.

Ubiquiti: frequently asked questions

What is the Ubiquiti default password?

For UniFi access points and switches, ui / ui (older devices ubnt / ubnt); for consoles, root / ui (older root / ubnt). airRouter models in our database use ubnt / ubnt.

Why does ubnt / ubnt not work?

The device has been adopted by a UniFi console, which replaced the default credentials, or it is a newer model that uses ui / ui.
