Administrator’s Handbook
Link: Passwords
Access to your Gateway may be controlled through two optional user accounts, Admin and User. When you first power up your Gateway, you create a password for the Admin account. The User account does not exist by default. As the Admin, a password for the User account can be entered or existing passwords changed.
Create and Change Passwords. You can establish different levels of access security to protect your Motorola Netopia® Gateway settings from unauthorized display or modification.
•Admin level privileges let you display and modify all settings in the Motorola Netopia® Gateway (Read/ Write mode). The Admin level password is created when you first access your Gateway.
•User level privileges let you display (but not change) settings of the Motorola Netopia® Gateway. (Read Only mode)
To prevent anyone from observing the password you enter, characters in the old and new password fields are not displayed as you type them.
