Protecting the User Interface with a Password
FRITZ!Box 3370

Setting Up Password Protection
As long as no password protection has been set up, every
time you open the user interface you will be prompted to en-
ter a password. If you disabled this message, here is how to
set password protection:
1.
Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see
).
2.
Go to the “System / FRITZ!Box Password” menu.
3.
Enter a password and save the password by clicking “Ap-
ply”.
Password protection is now enabled.
Forgot 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:
1.
Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see
).
2.
In the “Welcome to FRITZ!Box” window, click “reset” be-
low the password prompt and follow the instructions on
the screen.
The FRITZ!Box is reset to the factory settings and then re-
started. Afterward you can once again access the
FRITZ!Box user interface.
3.
After restarting, reconfigure the FRITZ!Box over the user
interface or load your saved settings to the FRITZ!Box
(see
).
This concludes the reset of the FRITZ!Box.
Be sure to remember the password! If you forget the pass-
word, the factory settings will have to be restored to your
FRITZ!Box. All of the settings you configured will be discard-
ed. This is why we recommend saving the settings of your
FRITZ!Box in a backup file (see
).
