Change the admin Password

You can change the admin password that is used to log in to the cable modem router
with the user name admin. This password is not the one that you use for WiFi access.
The cable modem router label shows your unique WiFi network name (SSID) and
password for WiFi access.
Note: Be sure to change the password for the user name admin to a secure password.
The ideal password contains no dictionary words from any language and contains
uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. It can be up to 30 characters.
To set the password for the user name admin:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
cable modem router network.
2. Enter http://routerlogin.net or http://192.168.0.1.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the cable modem router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.

The Set Password page display.
5. Type the old password, and type the new password twice.
