There are two user accounts: admin and guest. The password for admin is the same one that you use to access the router. By default, it is password. The guest user account has no password.

Be sure to select the FTP (via Internet) check box in the USB Storage Advanced Settings screen. This option supports both downloading and uploading of files.
