NETGEAR DOCSIS 3.0 N900 Wireless Data Gateway
Change Your Password
For security reasons, the gateway has its own user name and password. NETGEAR
recommends that you change the default password to a more secure password. The ideal
password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a mixture of
both uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Passwords can contain up to
30 characters.
To change the password:
1.
In the main menu, under Maintenance, select
Set Password
.
2.
Enter the new password twice.
3.
Click
Apply
.
Note:
After changing the password, you will be required to log in again to
continue the configuration. If you have backed up the gateway
settings previously, you should do a new backup so that the saved
settings file includes the new password.
