http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9810/web (where XXX equals your site IP address).
When a connection to the server is established, the login page should appear (as shown below). At initial startup, you will use the Owner user account (user ID 00, password 00).

Sierra Login Screen
NOTE: An administrative password is a user that has either “User Management” or “Utilities” access privileges under Setup>Users. For more information on Users, see Section 3.5.
NOTE: To setup a non-administrative user to verify and sell codes or sell accounts, “Accounts and Promotions” and “Code and Account Sales” must be checked on the user account.

Password Change Screen
To change the password, enter your old password, then enter your new password. Enter your new password again, then click Save.
You will be required to create a new password every 3 months. Please make note of the password and keep it in a secure location. You may not use the last 5 passwords.
After setting up your password, you may login to Sierra normally. If you forget your password, you may click on the Forgot Password? link on the top right of the login page and call Unitec.
NOTE: If you enter your password incorrectly 6 times, you will be locked out of the system for half an hour.
