Forgot Password—What to Do
If you have forgotten your password for the user interface, for reasons
of security, you have to restore the factory settings to your FRITZ!Box.
You can avoid this by enabling the “Forgot password” push service
when you configure your FRITZ!Box.
Using the “Forgot Password” Push Service
With the push service functions you can have the FRITZ!Box
send you messages to a specified e-mail address. This kind of
notification is available for various FRITZ!Box functions; see
Push Services: Notification Services of the FRITZ!Box
from
page 31
.
When you enable the password protection of your FRITZ!Box,
it is a good idea to enable the “Forgot password” service in
the “System / Push Service” menu.
If you have forgotten your password, the FRITZ!Box sends you
an access link by e-mail. You can assign a new the password
using this link. The settings of your FRITZ!Box remain intact.
Restoring Factory Settings to the FRITZ!Box
Without a password for the user interface you have to restore
the factory settings to the FRITZ!Box. This means that all of
your settings will be discarded. Afterwards you will have to re-
configure your Internet connection and all personal network
and network device settings.
Here is how to restore the factory settings of the FRITZ!Box:
1.
Disconnect the FRITZ!Box from the power supply.
2.
Reconnect to the power supply after about five seconds
and wait until the “Power / Cable” LED lights up.

In the first ten minutes after restarting you can restore
the factory settings to the FRITZ!Box.
3.
Open the browser on a computer connected with the
FRITZ!Box by LAN or wireless LAN and enter
http://fritz.box
in the address field.
4.
In the “Welcome to your FRITZ!Box” window, click “For-
got your password?” underneath the password query
and follow the instructions on the screen.
The FRITZ!Box is reset to the factory settings and then re-
started. Afterwards you can once again access the
FRITZ!Box user interface.
5.
After restarting, reconfigure the FRITZ!Box over the user
interface or load your saved settings to the FRITZ!Box;
see
page 33
.
This concludes the reset of the FRITZ!Box.
11.5
“No login” Mode
From within the home network you can operate the FRITZ!Box
user interface without enabling password protection. This
means that every user who accesses the interface of your
FRITZ!Box can view and change all information and settings.
In the “No login” mode, your private information is not suffi-
ciently protected from malicious programs or unwelcome ac-
tivities. Therefore we urgently advise against using the
FRITZ!Box without password protection!
For comprehensive information about logging in to the
FRITZ!Box with a password, see the sections
Using FRITZ!Box
Users
from
page 45
and
Using a FRITZ!Box Password
from
page 43
.
Protect your FRITZ!Box by defining a password for the
FRITZ!Box user interface. To do this, go to the “System /
FRITZ!Box Users / Login to Home Network” menu and select
one of the password protection methods.
