Password - Technicolor TC7200.20 User Manual

3. Password

By default, the username is empty ("") and the password is "admin".
This is set by different actions (non exhaustive list):
-
at the manufactory level,
-
following a reset factory on the modem,
-
following a reset from the operator,
-
following a change by the user who wants to come back to the default setting after using its own
settings
When the current password is the default one, the user is strongly encouraged to change the default web
password.
At your first connection or while the password is the default one, a warning message is displayed on the top
banner of each Web configuration page. We want to encourage you to change the password in order to
enforce the security of your modem.
The password can be a maximum of 8 characters and is case sensitive. In addition, this page can be used to
restore the gateway to its original factory settings. Use this with caution, as all the settings you have made
will be lost. To perform this reset, set Restore Factory Defaults to Yes and click Apply. This has the same
effect as a factory reset using the rear panel reset switch, where you hold on the switch for 5 seconds, then
release it.
Note: We are always suggesting you to modify the password. This is a basic protection against wrongful
access to the Gateway Web pages.
