Password Protection
27
•
When the user interface is opened, the login screen will
be displayed first. Enter the password here to log in to
the user interface.
•
If you do not click on the user interface for a period of
longer than ten minutes, you will be logged off the user
interface automatically.
The next time you click on the user interface you must
log back in.
•
There are some pages in the user interface from which
the user is not logged off automatically. These are pages
that show constantly changing information, which are
refreshed automatically at regular intervals. The “Over-
view” page is one example.
•
You can log yourself off the user interface by clicking the
icon with the padlock at the top right.
•
Be sure to use a password you can remember easily. If
you forget the password, the only way to access the
FRITZ!Box is to restore the factory settings. All settings
made during operation will be overwritten. Then you can
open the user interface again in order to reconfigure your
settings or restore the settings you saved during previ-
ous operation.
Setting Up Password Protection
There are several ways to set up password protection in the
FRITZ!Box:
•
On the login screen:
As long as password protection is not enabled and you
have not switched off the prompt to use password pro-
tection, you will be prompted to set up password protec-
tion every time you open the user interface.
•
In the “System / FRITZ!Box Password” menu:
In this menu you can set up password protection, or
change a password that has already been set up.
