• Change the password. Use a password that's not easy to guess and that consists
of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it).
Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes
unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the

configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the NBG-417N. You
could simply restore your last configuration.
