browser interface of the router to the User Guide and in the help screens.

Note: Before changing the router password, follow the instructions under “Configuration
File Management” on page 5-2 to save your configuration settings. If you forget the new
password, you will have to reset the router back to the factory defaults to be able to log in
using the default password of password. This means you will have to restore all the
router configuration settings. If you ever have to reset the router back to the factory
defaults, you can restore your settings from the backup configuration file.
