Changing the modem login password on iiNet modems
Your modem login password is used to log in to the modem's default gateway and change your modem settings.
You'll need a strong custom password if you're going to use Remote Access on your modem. It's also useful to stop guests from being able to access your modem settings if you give them your Wi-Fi password.
Important: If you forget a custom modem password, you'll need to factory reset your modem.
