Changing the Password for the Bridge
You can use the configuration utility to change the password for the bridge. To do so, you must
have the bridge connected to a computer — either directly or through a hub. See Installing the
ME101 on page 4 and Installing the Configuration Utility on page 8.
Note: If you reset the bridge by pressing the Default button on the bridge, the password reverts
to the default password: password.
1. Choose Programs>NETGEAR ME101 Bridge>ME101
Configuration Utility from the Start menu.
2. If the bridge’s name doesn’t appear in the Bridge Name
list, select Browse to have the utility search for an active
bridge.
3. Type password as the password.
4. Click Login.
5. Click the Configuration tab.
6. Type the old password in the Old Password box.
7. Type a new password in the
New Password box.
8. Re-type the new password in the Confirm Password box.
9. Click Apply.
10. If you are through making changes, click Exit.
