use the following screens of the Utility:

Administration
tab and then the
Security
tab. The Gateway’s default username and
password is admin. To secure the Gateway, change the Password from its default.
There are seven main tabs: Setup, Wireless, Security, Access Restrictions, Applications & Gaming, Administration,
and Status. Additional tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs.
