Manage iK POS passwords and access

Updated Oct 2026

Find or change the register password, Admin password and employee PIN, or reset your Poster management-console password.

iK POS uses different passwords and PINs for different tasks. Use the section below for the access detail you need to change, recover or find.

Know which access detail you need

Register password: used to sign in to Poster on the iK POS device. If you need to find the register username and password for sign-in, see Open and sign in to iK POS.
Admin password: used when Poster displays an Enter admin password prompt for a protected action.
Employee PIN: the four-digit PIN an employee uses when the POS displays the PIN pad.
Management-console password: used to sign in to the browser-based Poster management console.

Use the updated register password the next time you sign in to Poster on the iK POS device.

In the Poster management console, go to Settings > Security.
Find Admin password.
If Poster is asking for the Admin password, enter the password shown here and select Confirm.
To change the Admin password, enter the new password in the Admin password field and select Save.

In the Poster management console, go to Access > Employees.
Find the employee in the list.
Use the four-digit PIN shown for that employee when the POS displays the PIN pad.

Open your business's Poster management-console login page in a browser.
