DC Direct PAX devices use “System” and “PXRetailer Setup” passwords. The “System” password is used to exit PXRetailer/access the Android Desktop and device settings, etc. The “PXRetailer Setup” password is used to access the setup menu for PXRetailer, where you can change communication interfaces, etc.
POS providers and merchants have the ability to change the default passwords (set by PAX or the device distributor) for security purposes. See instructions below for how to change the System and PXRetailer Setup default passwords.
