Changing the default login and password on the DVG ATA is not really necessary. WAN access is disabled by default, so unless you're concerned about someone within your LAN changing your settings, it's pretty safe to leave the password as it is.

•The unit will not respond on the WAN port (unless you've manually changed this to Access the DVG from WAN).

•If your DVG ATA is placed behind a router/firewall, again the situation is fairly secure as above, for access from within your extended LAN.

•However, if your DVG is configured on a router's DMZ address or connected directly to the Internet, then no firewall is present, and it is recommended to change the DVG password as specified below.

Changing the DVG ATA's password

•Login to the DVG ATA.

•Set the new password in the Advanced Menu - "Administration Management" screen.

If you forget this password, you will have to perform a HARD RESET to restore the DVG ATA to recover the default states and settings (including default password).
