3.Select the Check to Edit Password checkbox. The password fields become active.

4.Enter the old password, enter the new password, and then confirm the new password.

Note: The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a mixture of letters (both upper and lower case), numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters.

5.As an option, you can change the idle timeout for an administrator login session. Enter a new number of minutes in the Idle Timeout field. (The default setting is 5 minutes.)

6.Click Apply to save your settings.

7.Repeat step 1 through step 6 for the user with the name ‘guest’.

Note: After a factory default reset, the password and timeout value are changed back to password and 5 minutes, respectively.

You can also change the administrator login policies:

•Deny login access from a WAN interface. By default, the administrator can log in from a WAN interface.

•Deny or allow login access from specific IP addresses. By default, the administrator can log in from any IP address.

Note: For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as practical.

•Deny or allow login access from specific browsers. By default, the administrator can log in from any browser.

In general, these policy settings work well for an administrator. However, if you need to change any of these policy settings, see “Setting User Login Policies” on page 9-12.
