Changing the Administrator Password

Figure 6-8: Set Password menu
To change the password, first enter the old password, then enter the new password twice. Click
Apply.
Note: Before changing the router password, use the router backup utility to save your
configuration settings. If after changing the password, you forget the new password you
assigned, you will have to reset the router back to the factory defaults to be able to log in
using the default password of password. This means you will have to restore all the
router configuration settings. If you ever have to reset the router back to the factory
defaults, you can restore your settings from the backup.
