8.4 Forgotten Password: What To Do
If you have forgotten your password for the user interface, for
reasons of security, you have to restore the factory settings to
your FRITZ!Box; see
Deleting User Settings from page 166 .
You can avoid this by enabling the “Forgot password” push
service when you configure your FRITZ!Box; see the section
Push Services: Using Notification Services from page 153 .
8.5 “No login” Mode
From within the home network you can operate the FRITZ!Box
user interface without enabling password protection. This
means that every user who accesses the interface of your
FRITZ!Box can view and change all information and settings.
In the “No login” mode, your private information is not suffi-
ciently protected from malicious programs or unwelcome ac-
tivities. Therefore we urgently advise against using the
FRITZ!Box without password protection!
For comprehensive information about logging in to the
FRITZ!Box with a password, see the sections
Creating
FRITZ!Box Users from page 42 and Setting a FRITZ!Box Pass-
word from page 39 .
Protect your FRITZ!Box by defining a password for the
FRITZ!Box user interface. To do this, go to the “System /
FRITZ!Box Users / Login to the Home Network” menu and se-
lect one of the password protection methods.
