Change Passwords And Other User Settings - NETGEAR UTM9S Reference Manual

Change Passwords and Other User Settings

For any user, you can change the password, user type, and idle time-out settings. Only
administrators have read/write access. All other users have read-only access.
Note: The default administrator and default guest passwords for the web
management interface are both password. NETGEAR recommends
that you change the password for the administrator account to a
more secure password, and that you configure a separate secure
password for the guest account.
Note: The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any
language, and should be a mixture of letters (both uppercase and
lowercase), numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to
30 characters.
Note: After a factory defaults reset, the password and time-out value are
changed back to password and 5 minutes, respectively.
