About Users with Administrative and Guest Privileges

There are two pre-defined user types that can access the STM's Web Management Interface:
• Administrator. A user who has full access and the capacity to change the STM configuration
(that is, read/write access). The default user name for an administrator is admin, and the
default password for an administrator is password.
• Guest user. A user who can only view the STM configuration (that is, read-only access). The
default user name for a guest is guest, and the default password for a guest is guest.
NETGEAR recommends that you change these passwords to more secure passwords.
The login window that is presented to the administrator and guest user is the NETGEAR
Configuration Manager Login screen (see

Changing Administrative Passwords and Timeouts

In addition to changing the default password for the administrator and guest user, you can use the
Set Password screen to change the account names, and modify the Web Management Interface
timeout setting.
Note: The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and
should be a mixture of letters (both upper and lower case), numbers, and symbols.
The password can be up to 64 characters.
To modify the administrator and guest accounts, and to modify the Web Management Interface
timeout setting:
