Change the factory-assigned administrator password for a device to a unique password

Tip Triggering a Config reset reverts the unique admin password you may have configured back to the factory-assigned default admin password. If you are trying to log in to the router locally after the Config reset is complete, you will have to use the factory-assigned default admin password, which is located on the product label sticker on the bottom of the router or the extra product label sticker. For more information about triggering a device reset, see Device reset.
