7.1 Changing the Administrator Password of the
Web-based Configuration Utility
Function Overview
You can configure all the parameters of the router through the Web-based configuration
utility. To prevent unauthorized personnel from changing these parameters, you need to
use the administrator name and password to log in to the Web-based configuration utility.
After logging in to the Web-based configuration utility, you can change the administrator
password.
If you cannot remember the password that has been changed, you can restore the default
settings of the router by pressing and holding the RESET button for more than 6s. In this case,
