Changing The Administrator Password; Backing Up Your Configuration - NETGEAR WGR614v11 User Manual

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.
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
page 80.
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.

Backing Up Your Configuration

The configuration settings of the WGR614v11 router are stored within the router in a
configuration file. You can back up (save) this file and retrieve it later. NETGEAR
recommends that you save your configuration file after you complete the configuration. If the
router fails or becomes corrupted, or an administrator password is lost, you can easily
re-create your configuration by restoring the configuration file.
For instructions on saving and restoring your configuration file, see
Configuration File
Tip: Before saving your configuration file, change the administrator password
to the default, password. Then change it again after you have saved the
configuration file. If you save the file 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.
