Changing The Administrator Password - NETGEAR KWGR614 Reference Manual

Changing the Administrator Password

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.
The default password for the router's Web Configuration Manager is password. Change this
password to a more secure password.
From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, select Set
Password to bring up the menu shown below.
