Protecting the User Interface with a Password
You can protect the user interface of the FRITZ!Box with a
password. The password will be requested every time the us-
er interface is opened. This protects the settings of your
FRITZ!Box from unauthorized access.
We strongly recommend setting up and using password pro-
tection for the user interface.

time you open the user interface you will be prompted to en-

When password protection is enabled, you can log off the us-

If you do not click on the user interface for a period of longer
than ten minutes, you will be logged off automatically. The
only pages excepted from this are those which are constantly
updated, like the "Overview" page. No automatic logout will
take place on these pages.
Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
Go to the "System / FRITZ!Box Password"menu.
Enter a password and save the password by clicking "Ap-
ply".
Password protection is now enabled.
Be sure to use a password you can remember easily. If
you forget the password, the factory settings will have to
be restored to your FRITZ!Box (see
settings you configured will be discarded.
