Configuring Your Password Settings
Use the Basic Settings - Password Settings page to set up or modify a password to
restrict unauthorized persons from accessing to your residential gateway settings.
Click
Password Settings
in the Basic Settings section of the Setup page to access the
Password Settings page.
Notes:
Your gateway modem comes from the factory with no password enabled. We
highly recommend that you set up a user password to prevent unauthorized
users from modifying the settings of your network.
If you do choose to set up a password, use a password that you can easily
remember. Do
not
forget your password.
