We have one Sophos model in our database, the SFVH. It uses 172.16.16.16 as the default IP address, and the default login is admin / admin. Its default settings are below.

How to Log In to the Sophos SFVH

  1. Connect a computer or phone to the router, with a network cable or over WiFi.
  2. Type http://172.16.16.16 into your browser's address bar. If nothing loads, see How To Find Your Router's IP Address.
  3. Sign in with the default username and password from the table below (admin / admin for this model).

If the Default Login Doesn't Work

Someone has probably changed the password. Check the label on the router, then factory reset it: with the router on, hold the Reset button (often a pinhole, so use a paperclip) for about 10 to 30 seconds, then let go. That puts back the default login above, and also erases your WiFi and Internet settings. See How To Reset Your Router.
