9 Password Protection: Using FRITZ!Box Safely
Your FRITZ!Box contains many personalized settings for your
home network and your Internet connection. For this reason
we recommend protecting access to the user interface of your
FRITZ!Box with a password.
A preconfigured password is already set in your FRITZ!Box up-
on delivery. This means the user interface of your FRITZ!Box is
protected with a password from the start.
The preset network key is found here:
• on the bottom of the housing of the FRITZ!Box
• on the enclosed FRITZ! Notice
If needed, you can replace the preconfigured password with a
FRITZ!Box password of your own; see page 32, or with
FRITZ!Box users; see page 33.
9.1 Overview
The FRITZ!Box offers two ways to configure password protec-
tion:
Property FRITZ!Box Password FRITZ!Box User
Password You specify a password.
Or you use the preconfigured
password.
Everyone who knows the pass-
word can access the FRITZ!Box
user interface.
There are user accounts.
Every FRITZ!Box user receives
her or his own password for
opening the user interface.
Scope of access With the FRITZ!Box password,
access to all contents and set-
tings in the FRITZ!Box is per-
mitted.
For each FRITZ!Box user, you
define which contents and set-
tings of the FRITZ!Box the given
user is allowed to access.
Kind of access Login to the user interface is
permitted from devices located
in the home network of the
FRITZ!Box.
A FRITZ!Box user can also log
in to the FRITZ!Box user inter-
face—with the appropriate
user rights—from the Internet.
