Configuring Your Password Settings - Cisco DPC User Manual

How Do I Configure My DOCSIS Residential Gateway?

Configuring Your Password Settings

Use the Basic Settings - Password Settings page to set up or modify a password to
restrict unauthorized persons from accessing to your residential gateway settings.
Click Password Settings in the Basic Settings section of the Setup page to access the
Password Settings page.
Notes:
Your gateway modem comes from the factory with no password enabled. We
highly recommend that you set up a user password to prevent unauthorized
users from modifying the settings of your network.
If you do choose to set up a password, use a password that you can easily
remember. Do not forget your password.
