This is set by different actions (non exhaustive list):
- at the manufactory level,
- following a reset factory on the modem,
- following a reset from the operator,
- following a change by the user who wants to come back to
the default setting after using its own settings
When the current password is the default one, the user is strongly encouraged to change the default
web password.
At your first connection or while the password is the default one, a warning message is displayed on the
top banner of each Web configuration page. We want to encourage you to change the password in order
to enforce the security of your modem.
The password can be a maximum of 8 characters and is case sensitive. In addition, this page can be used
to restore the gateway to its original factory settings. Use this with caution, as all the settings you have
made will be lost. To perform this reset, set Restore Factory Defaults to Yes and click Apply. This has
the same effect as a factory reset using the rear panel reset switch, where you hold on the switch for 5
seconds, then release it.
Note: We are always suggesting you to modify the password. This is a basic protection against wrongful
access to the Gateway Web pages.
