# How To Log-in

## How To Log-in To Local Console?

**Latest feature updated on Jan 14, 2022:**&#x20;

To enhance the security level of SenseCAP Local Console, an extra password is added to log in to the Local Console besides CPUID, the default password is the Serial Number of the hotspot. It is highly recommended to change the password after the first login.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Your computer and your Hotspot should be connected to the same router/network in order to use Local Console.

If your Hotspot is remote, you currently will **NOT** be unable to run any of the features in Local Console.
{% endhint %}

### Login

1\. Get your Hotspot's CPU ID and S/N

* If you do not have an account of SenseCAP M1 Dashboard, or haven't added your Hotspot to the Dashboard, please find the device label of your SenseCAP M1, and get the S/N and CPU ID

2\. Get the IP Address of your hotspot

* If you do not have an account of SenseCAP M1 Dashboard, or haven't added your Hotspot to the Dashboard, please find the IP Address of your hotspot in your router admin page, or run diagnostic on your Helium APP to get the IP Address. Then type the IP Address in a browser to enter the Local Console page.
* If you already have registered an account of SenseCAP M1 Dashboard and added your Hotspot,  you can find your Hotspot's IP Address from the dashboard:&#x20;
  * Click the "**Wi-Fi IP Address**" or "**LAN IP Address**" link which directs to the Turbo Sync Local Console page.&#x20;
  * If you are connected via Wi-Fi, you will see the Hotspots Wi-Fi IP address to click.
  * If you are connected via Ethernet cable or local LAN, you will see the Hotspot's LAN address to click.

5\. Change the default password

After the first login, please do click the "**Change Password**" button to modify your default password. The new password should contain 8\~32 digits with at least two combinations of the numbers, letters and symbols. The password will be encrypted and be only stored in your SenseCAP M1 locally.&#x20;

For security concerns, we do not provide a “**Forget Password**” function yet, so please do remember your password well, and you will need to reflash the MicroSD card to resume the default password if you lost it.&#x20;

For the CLI users, please note that every time the password has been changed, the Local Console device token will be automatically updated as well. Refresh the Local Console webpage and you will see the new device token. Please keep your device token safe and do not share it to any third party in any circumstance.

6\. Get bind key and add your Hotspot to SenseCAP Dashboard
