Setting up Password Protection

Please note the following once you have enabled pass-

word protection:

• When the user interface is opened, the login screen

will be displayed first. Enter the password here to log

in to the user interface.

• If you do not click on the user interface for a period of

longer than ten minutes, you will be logged off the

user interface automatically.

The next time you click you then log back in.

• There are some pages in the user interface from

which the user is not logged off automatically. These

are pages that show constantly changing informa-

tion, which are refreshed automatically at regular in-

tervals. The “Overview” page is one example.

• You can log yourself off the user interface by clicking

the icon with the padlock at the top right.

• Be sure to use a password you can remember easily.

If you forget the password, the only way to access the

FRITZ!Box is to restore the factory settings. All set-

tings made during operation will be overwritten. Then

you can open the user interface again in order to re-

configure your settings or restore the settings you

saved during previous operation.

Setting up Password Protection

There are several ways to set up password protection in

the FRITZ!Box:

• On the login screen:

As long as password protection is not enabled and

you have not switched off the prompt to use pass-

word protection, you will be prompted to set up pass-

word protection every time you open the user inter-

face.
