Fritz!Box 4040 - Changing the FRITZ!Box Password

Changing the FRITZ!Box Password
Overview
Within the FRITZ!Box home network you can log in with the FRITZ!Box
using a FRITZ!Box password without a username. For the first login
with the FRITZ!Box, use the FRITZ!Box password preset for your
FRITZ!Box. The preconfigured FRITZ!Box password is printed on the
“FRITZ!Notes” service card and on the type label on the bottom of
housing of your FRITZ!Box. You can change the preconfigured
FRITZ!Box password.
We recommend configuring the “Forgot Password” push service; see
page140. When you have forgotten a password, the FRITZ!Box sends
an access link to the email address you specified. Using this link you
can set a new password.
Requirements
• You have not yet changed the username automatically created for
the FRITZ!Box password; see page142.
