NETGEAR DOCSIS 3.0 N450 Wi-Fi Data Gateway
Change the 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
30characters.
To change the password:
1.In the main menu, under Maintenance, select Set Password.
2.Enter the new password twice.
3.To restore the factory default values, select the Yes radio button. See Label on page 9 for default values.
4.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, create a new backup so that the saved settings file includes the updated password.
