Changing User Names and
Passwords
Use the Passwords page to manage the user names and passwords
that can access the Zoom Configuration Manager. To open this
page, click on Advanced Setup Æ Management Æ Access
Control Æ Passwords.
When you installed the X5 and tried to open the Zoom
Configuration Manager, you were prompted for a User Name
and Password in order to gain access. (The default user name and
password were supplied to you in the section Establishing
Communication.)
If you want, you can change the default password.
Changing the
password is not required, but as a good security measure, we
recommend it.
To change the default password
Access to your DSL modem is controlled through three user
accounts: admin, support, and user.
1 Select the User name for which you want to change the
password from the drop-down menu.
2 Enter the current password in the textbox Old password.
3 Choose the password you would like to replace it with (up to
16 characters without any spaces) and enter it in the textbox
New password.
4 Retype the password in the textbox Confirm password.
5 Click on Save/Apply.
