Setting a System Password
Setting a system password protects your gateway settings from being modified or changed by someone who
has not been given permission to do so. After setting a system password, you will be required to enter it
whenever you attempt to access a gateway configuration page — for example, if you try to change the
gateway’s broadband connection settings or upgrade the gateway software. If a password has not been set,
a reminder notice is displayed when you attempt to access pages where settings can be changed.
To set your system password:
•
Open a Web browser and access the gateway user interface by entering
•
Click the
System
tab.
•
Click the System Password
link in the System area of the Network at a Glance panel to open the Edit
System Password page.

Optional:
In the Enter Your Hint field, enter a hint.
A hint is a word, phrase, or question that reminds you what the password is. There is an I forgot the
password
link on the password entry page. When you click this link, it shows you your hint and allows
you to enter your password.

To safeguard your network against unauthorized users, it is also a good practice to periodically change your
password.

Changing Your Time Zone Settings
The 2Wire gateway sets the time automatically using time servers on the Internet. It retrieves date/time
information in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Your local time is set using the Time Zone setting you
configured when you set up your system. If your Time Zone is incorrectly set, you can change it in the Edit
Date and Time Settings page.
To change your time zone settings:
•
Open a Web browser and access the gateway user interface by entering http://gateway.2wire.net.
•
Click the
System
tab.
•
Click the Date and Time Settings
link in the System area of the Network at a Glance panel to open the
Edit Date and Time Settings page.
