Security
Link: Passwords
Access to your Gateway may be controlled through two optional user accounts, Admin and
User. When you first power up your Gateway, you create a password for the Admin
account. The User account does not exist by default. As the Admin, a password for the
User account can be entered or existing passwords changed.
Create and Change Passwords. You can establish different levels of access
security to protect your Netopia Gateway settings from unauthorized display or modifica-
tion.
• Admin level privileges let you display and modify all settings in the Netopia Gateway
(Read/Write mode). The Admin level password is created when you first access your
Gateway.
• User level privileges let you display (but not change) settings of the Netopia Gateway.
(Read Only mode)
To prevent anyone from obser ving the password you enter, characters in the old and new
password fields are not displayed as you type them.
