NETGEAR DOCSIS 3.0 N450 Wi-Fi Data Gateway
Change the Password
For security reasons, the gateway has its own user name and password. NETGEAR
recommends that you change the default password to a more secure password. The ideal
password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a mixture of
both uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Passwords can contain up to
30 characters.
To change the password:
1.
In the main menu, under Maintenance, select
Set Password
.
2.
Enter the new password twice.
3.
To restore the factory default values, select the Yes radio button.

Note:
After changing the password, you will be required to log in again to
continue the configuration. If you have backed up the gateway
settings previously, create a new backup so that the saved settings
file includes the updated password.
