Changing the Administrator Password
The default password for the router’s Web Configuration Manager is password. NETGEAR 
recommends that you change this password to a more secure password. 
To change the administrator password:
1. On the main menu, under Maintenance, select Set Password to display the Set Password 
screen.
2. To change the password, first enter the old password, then enter the new password twice. 
3. Click Apply.
Tip: Before changing the router password, back up your configuration settings with the 
default password of password. If you save the settings with a new password, and 
then you later forget the new password, you will have to reset the router back to the 
factory defaults, and log in using the default password of password. This means you 
will have to re-enter all the router configuration settings. For information about how 
to back up your settings, see “Backing Up and Restoring the Configuration” on 
page 6-8.
