Re: Also a thread in the Comcast HSI forum
RCN used to use "password" as a default password at one time. You are supposed to go on their web site and change it to something unique but some people never do. |

if comcast still gives 2gb/mo on giganews, i bet lots of those were used to steal giganews service.

You are supposed to go on their web site and change it to something unique but some people never do. That's why, as a system admin, I make the default password a 64-character mixture of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols, and other unicode characters. Users get so frustrated the first time they have to enter the password and figure out how to type characters like ሎ, ১, and ש that they always change it. Of course they usually change it to "password" but at least the blame is on them and not me. |

I bet they love you. That is a crazy amount of characters to enter, even to initally setup up your own password. |
