Using FRITZ!Box Users
•
If you set up a FRITZ!Box user account for every member
of the family, with at least the rights to access voice mes-
sages, faxes, FRITZ!App Fon and the call list, the entire
family can listen to the answering machine or view the
call list even when they’re away from home.
•
With a FRITZ!Box user account that has only the right to
access a certain area of the NAS you can grant your
friends Internet access to your latest vacation pictures,
for instance.
•
As a FRITZ!Box user with the “Smart home” right, you
can switch your lamps or aquarium pumps on and off
from anywhere in the world. The prerequisite is that you
connect them to smart home devices from AVM (like
FRITZ!DECT 200, for instance) which are integrated in the
home network of your FRITZ!Box. You can remote control
up to 10 switchable outlets over your MyFRITZ! access.
Preconfigured FRITZ!Box User: ftpuser
The first time you open the overview of user accounts under
“System / FRITZ!Box Users /
Users”, the user “ftpuser” is al-
ready listed.
This is because the FRITZ!NAS service, in which the storage
media connected with the FRITZ!Box are summarized, can al-
so be accessed over the protocols SAMBA and FTP. If you ac-
cess FRITZ!NAS via Windows file sharing or an FTP client, your
users must be authenticated by entering “ftpuser”.
The preconfigured user account ensures smooth access to
FRITZ!NAS over SAMBA and FTP. Therefore it is important not
to delete or rename this user.
If you use only the login method with FRITZ!Box user name
and password to access your FRITZ!Box, you can also set up a
user account with NAS access rights.
Only if you
always
use your FRITZ!Box user account to access
the FRITZ!Box, be it from home or via the Internet, you can de-
lete the preconfigured “ftpuser” account. In every other case
deleting this user account will make it impossible to use the
NAS services of the FRITZ!Box, or allow only restricted use.

Quick Access to Your Own User Account
In the upper navigation bar of the FRITZ!Box is the name of
the FRITZ!Box user account with which the user is currently
logged in to the user interface.
Click the blue triangle to control basic functions of this user
account:
•
Changing the e-mail address
Select the “Change e-mail address” entry to assign a dif-
ferent e-mail address to the current user account.
•
Changing the password
With the “Change password” entry you can change the
password of the current user account.
•
Deregistering
Click “Log Off” here to leave the FRITZ!Box user inter-
face.
Log off of the FRITZ!Box user interface before you surf the
web with your browser. If you do not click on the
FRITZ!Box user interface for a period of longer than sixty
minutes, you will be logged off automatically.
Disabling FRITZ!Box Users
You can disable a user account without deleting it. The owner
of a disabled account can no longer access the FRITZ!Box con-
tents.
You can neither delete nor disable the user account with
which you are currently logged in to the user interface of your
FRITZ!Box.

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 38
.
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.
When you have forgotten your password, the FRITZ!Box sends
you an access link by e-mail. You can assign a new the pass-
word using this link. The settings of your FRITZ!Box remain in-
tact.
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 to 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 / DSL” 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
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 40
.
This concludes the reset of the FRITZ!Box.
12.5
Mode “No login”
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 61
and
Using a FRITZ!Box Password
from
page 59
.
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.
