Administrator and Guest Access Authorization

You can change the administrator and guest passwords, administrator login timeout, and enable
remote management. Administrator access is read/write and guest access is read-only.

Changing the Passwords and Login Timeout

The default passwords for the firewall’s Web Configuration Manager is password. Netgear
recommends that you change this password to a more secure password.

From the main menu of the browser interface, under the Management heading, select Set Password
to bring up this menu.

To change the password, first enter the old password, and then enter the new password twice. Click
Apply. To change the login idle timeout, change the number of minutes and click Apply.

Note:

If you make the administrator login timeout value too large, you will have to wait a long

time before you are able to log back into the router if your previous login was disrupted (i.e., you
did not click Logout on the Main Menu bar to log out).

The password and timeout value you enter will be changed back to password and 5 minutes,
respectively, after a factory defaults reset.
