Changing the Administrator Username and Password
Use the
Setup > Password
page to update the administrator username and
password. You can keep the default username (admin) if you like. However, Cisco
strongly recommends changing the default password (admin) to a strong
password that is hard to guess.
!
CAUTION
The password cannot be recovered if it is lost or forgotten. If the password is lost
or forgotten, you have to reset the router to its factory default settings. Doing so will
remove all of your configuration changes.
NOTE
•
You must change the administrator password if you enable remote access
on the

page.
