have to set a new password and reconfigure your ZoneAlarm router for Internet
connection. For information on performing these tasks, see Setting Up the
ZoneAlarm Router on page

This operation also resets your router to its default Product Key. Therefore, if you
upgraded your license, you should save your Product Key before resetting to defaults.
