Changing The Administrator Password - NETGEAR RangeMax WPN824 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. NETGEAR
recommends that you change this password to a more secure password.
From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, select Set
