Setting a FRITZ!Box Password
9.2 Setting a FRITZ!Box Password
Overview
The basic method of logging in to the FRITZ!Box user interface
is to enter the FRITZ!Box password. With this password all us-
ers can open the user interface and access all of the
FRITZ!Box’s contents and settings.
With the FRITZ!Box password it is not possible to access the
FRITZ!Box from the Internet, however. In such a case you also
require an account as a FRITZ!Box user; see Creating
FRITZ!Box Users from page 33.
Rules
You would like to change the preconfigured password of your
FRITZ!Box?
When setting passwords, comply with the following rules:
• Use a password rated as secure.
• Select a password with at least twelve characters, which
includes capitals and lower-case letters as well as nu-
merals and special characters.
• Be sure to keep your passwords in a safe place!
• Use the “Forgot Password” Push Service. When you have
forgotten a password, the FRITZ!Box sends you an ac-
cess link to the e-mail address you specified. You can as-
sign a new password using this link.
If you lose your FRITZ!Box password, you will have to restore
the factory settings to the FRITZ!Box and you will have to re-
configure all of your personal settings for your Internet con-
nection and your home network.
