Changing the Cisco VOIP Routers Password

From Asterisk Australia

Q. How do I change the password of my Linksys VOIP router?

When accessing the router's web-based setup page, a log-in screen will appear asking for the router's username and password. The default username and password "admin" should be changed for security purposes. </p>

The router's password must be changed to:

• Prevent unwanted users from accessing the router's web-based setup page.
• Enable Remote Management. 

Changing the Router's Password

Step 1:
Access the router's web-based setup page. For instructions, click <a href="../../../../en/US/products/ps10024/products_qanda_item09186a0080a35691.shtml">here</a>.
