Logging In to the FRITZ!Box User Interface
Overview
When you open the user interface of your FRITZ!Box, you will be
prompted to log in. This login serves to keep your FRITZ!Box secure
and protects access to the user interface.
You have two options for logging in to your FRITZ!Box:
• with a FRITZ!Box password; see page142
• as a FRITZ!Box user; see page143
FRITZ!Box Password
For the first login to the FRITZ!Box, a general FRITZ!Box password is
preconfigured, which works without a username. The preconfigured
FRITZ!Box password is printed on the “FRITZ!Notes” service card and
on the type label on the bottom of housing.
The FRITZ!Box password has the following properties:
• Login with the FRITZ!Box password without a username is possible
only within the FRITZ!Box home network.
• Every user who logs in with the FRITZ!Box password without a
username has the right to access all contents and settings on the
FRITZ!Box.
• For the FRITZ!Box password, the FRITZ!Box automatically creates a
FRITZ!Box user with a username composed of the letters “fritz”
and a four-digit string of numerals, for instance, “fritz1234”. The
FRITZ!Box uses this user account internally whenever you log in to
the home network with the FRITZ!Box password and without
a username. This automatically created user account cannot be
deleted.
If you change the automatically created username, then you can no
longer log in using just the FRITZ!Box password without a user-
name. Then login is possible only with a username and password.
