as noted above, if you did not change that, that is *bad*. anyone can
pwn you.
Even crappy modern routers now require you to set a new admin password
upon initialization for some time now.
yep, and that's a really good thing.
Agreed - to a point!
Years ago, the routers I used had a 'user name' of 'ADMIN' and a
password of 'PASSWORD'. It was right and proper to change both!
In more recent times, though, my BT Home Hub routers have come with a
factory preset Wireless Network Name, a 12 digit Wireless Password/key
and also an Admin Password for the Hub Manager.
Why is there a need to change these if no one else has physical access
to the router?
