They are all under 1 - Clerk Menu, after you press ADMIN or .,#*. Turn on ClerkPrompt first (option 6 - ClerkPrompt), because it is required before you set up the rest of the Clerk Menu. If you still can’t see it, call us at 1-888-712-0770 or email support@cartispayments.com.

What is the admin password on the Desk 5000?

The terminal deploys with a default admin name of 1 and a pre-programmed default password. This article doesn’t list the password. See how to set up security passwords, or for help call us at 1-888-712-0770 or email support@cartispayments.com.
