Change Password; Back Up And Restore Your Settings - NETGEAR CG3000 User Manual

Change Password

For security, the gateway has its own user names and passwords. NETGEAR recommends
that you change the default passwords to more secure passwords. The ideal passwords
should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a mixture of both upper
and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. Your passwords can be up to 30 characters.
