Upon access to the web pages on the CPE side of the router, if the user has not changed the default web password, a warning message must be displayed in the top banner of the web interface such as being visible while accessing any tabs.

This warning message informs the user that the default password must be changed:

In the second sentence, “here” is a hyperlink to the password setting page. Clicking on “here” lead to the display of the password setting page.
