Fritz!Box 7590 - FRITZ!Box Password and FRITZ!Box Users

FRITZ!Box Password and FRITZ!Box Users
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 page217
• as a FRITZ!Box user; see page219
FRITZ!Box Password
For the first login to the FRITZ!Box, a FRITZ!Box password is preconfig-
ured, which works without a username. The preconfigured FRITZ!Box
password is printed on the on the FRITZ! Notes service card and on the
type label on the outside of the FRITZ!Box 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
with 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.
• You can change the preconfigured FRITZ!Box password; see
page218.
