Customize your modem admin username and password

The administrator password prevents outsiders from accessing your home network settings through your modem. If you choose to set up a customized admin password, be sure to keep it in a safe place. If you forget your custom sign-in, you will need to reset the modem, then sign in using the default credentials printed on the sticker.
