Changing the Administrator Password
The default password for the router’s Web Configuration Manager is password. NETGEAR
recommends that you change this password to a more secure password.
Tip: Before changing the router password, back up your configuration settings with the
default password of password. If you save the settings with a new password, and
then you later forget the new password, you will have to reset the router back to the
factory defaults, and log in using the default password of password. This means you
will have to re-enter all the router configuration settings. For information about how
to back up your settings, see “Backing Up and Restoring the Configuration” on
page 6-7.
