Changing the FRITZ!Box Password
Overview
Within the FRITZ!Box home network you can log in with the FRITZ!Box
using a FRITZ!Box password without a username. For the first login
with the FRITZ!Box, use the FRITZ!Box password preset for your
FRITZ!Box. The preconfigured FRITZ!Box password is printed on the
“FRITZ! Notes” service card and on the type label on the bottom of
housing of your FRITZ!Box. You can change the preconfigured
FRITZ!Box password.
We recommend configuring the “Forgot Password” push service; see
page 140 . When you have forgotten a password, the FRITZ!Box sends
an access link to the email address you specified. Using this link you
can set a new password.
Requirements
• You have not yet changed the username automatically created for
the FRITZ!Box password; see page 142 .
