SBR-AC1750: Admin Login Setup

How do I change the admin password on my SBR-AC1750?

When attempting to access the SBR-AC1750 configuration menu, the router prompts for a username and password.  By default, the username is admin, and the password is password.  However, the router's admin account password can be changed.  This document describes how to change the password.

NOTE: If the router cannot be accessed using the default credentials, and password is unknown, then the router will only be accessible by doing a factory reset.  Keep in mind that a factory reset will erase any custom settings, and may cause the Internet to be inaccessible.  For instructions on how to do a factory reset, please refer to Article # 15564 - SBR-AC1750: Factory Reset.

Login Considerations:

• Password must be 8-12 characters, combination of upper/lower case, combination of numbers/letters. 
• Passwords go into effect immediately.  Restarting the router is not required for the password to take effect.
• Assigning an administrator password does not affect communication to the Internet.

To Change the Password

1. Launch a web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari.  Enter http://192.168.0.1 into the address box and press the Enter key.  The Login page appears.
   
   NOTE: By default the LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1.  If the default address has been changed, enter the custom address in the address box.
