Important:
Select a unique password (both user and administrator) for your Slingbox. This
will also reduce the chances of someone else using your Slingbox without your
permission.
A good way to create a unique password is to use the first letters of the words in a
saying or the first letters of the words to a song. To make these passwords harder to
guess, add some numbers in the middle of them.
Here are a few tips for creating and safeguarding your password:
•
Change your passwords periodically.
•
Don't share your passwords with others.
•
Avoid words in the dictionary, first names, pet's names and so on.
•
Use a good mix of upper case and lower case letters and numbers.
