Here you can protect access to the FRITZ!Box user interface by setting up a password.
Note: For security reasons, the password is always displayed as four asterisks, regardless of its actual length.
The following characters can be used in the password:
! | " | # | $ | % | & | ' | ( | ) | * | + | , | - | . | / | : | ; | < | = | > | ? | @ | [ | \ | ] | ^ | _ | ` | { | | | } | ~ |
Attention: The umlauts ä, ö, ü and Ä, Ö, Ü and the special character ß cannot be used!
You will be prompted to enter the password
Please pay particular attention to the following information:
Attention 1: Attention: If you have forgotten the password, you cannot open the user interface again until the factory settings were restored to the FRITZ!Box. Resetting the repeater will overwrite all of your settings. Be sure to keep the password in a safe place.
Attention 2: If you do not click on the user interface for a period of longer than 10 minutes, you will be logged off the user interface automatically. You will have to enter the password again in order to log back in to the user interface.
There a few pages of the interface to which this does not apply. These are pages that display information that is constantly changing. For this reason they are refreshed automatically at regular intervals. The Overview page in the "Start" menu area is a good example.
You can log off the user interface by clicking at the top right on "Log off" or the icon with the padlock.
