Change Your Password - NETGEAR CG4500BDv2 User Manual

Change Your Password

For security reasons, the gateway has its own user name and password. NETGEAR
recommends that you change the default password to a more secure password. The ideal
password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a mixture of
both uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Passwords can contain up to
30 characters.

To change the password:
1. In the main menu, under Maintenance, select Set Password.
2. Enter the new password twice.
3. Click Apply.
Note: After changing the password, you will be required to log in again to
continue the configuration. If you have backed up the gateway
settings previously, you should do a new backup so that the saved
settings file includes the new password.
