1.4 Good Habits for Managing the NBG6818
Do the following things regularly to make the NBG6818 more secure and to manage the NBG6818 more
effectively.
• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different types of
characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working
configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your
password, you will have to reset the NBG6818 to its factory default settings. If you backed up an
earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the NBG6818. You could simply
restore your last configuration.
