How can I change the wifi-password (Ubee 3226 modem) ?

[kostaszyg]

I want to change my default Wifi password. I copy the Ipv4 address and it directs me to UPC page. It asks for user name and password but i do not remember them

How can i solve this problem?

Kind regards

Which router do you have?

Usually you can reset to factory default by using a small pinhole on the back.

Factory password should be on a sticker on the router.

thanks but i want to set a personal password

We still need to know what router you have.

You have to log in  to the router, to change the passwords.

@kostaszyg ,

Reset your modem en then log in with te password en name written on the modem. Then login and change them to a personal one. 

Good luck.

I have tried to log in with the name and the password present on the back of the router, but it does not work,

I do not know what router i have. It was placed my Ziggo almost 1 year ago. there are some specification: 2.4 GHz/ WPA2-PSK, if that means something….

Welcome on the Ziggo Community @kostaszyg!

It is definately possible to change your wifi-password into a password of your own choice. Like @Steefb mentioned it is important to know which modem you use. According to our information, this is a Ubee EVW3226.
Please follow the next steps: 

• Go to http://192.168.0.1
• Login with username admin and password admin
• Click on wireless
• Click on security
• Fill in your new wifi-password behind ‘password phrase’ and enter the new password again behind ‘type the password again'. 
• Click on save setings. Your wifi-password is been changed. 

Please let me know if it all worked out

Hello Cecilia

Thank you for your advice, it worked, i have changed my password

I have made the mistake and i have let my neighbor connected to my wifi because he had a problems with his internet. DO you think is it a problem with my privacy and security? If yes is there anything i can do?

Is he theoretically also possible to log in to my UPC using the username and password “admin”?

Can i change it as well?

Once again thank you for your advice.

Kind Regards
Kostas

Hey @kostaszyg . 

You have changed your wifi password now, so your neighbour can't connect to your wifi (and modem) anymore. No need to be afraid ^^. 

And yes, it is possible to change the password of your modem as well. You can find the option when you log in to the modem.
