Forgot password for the user interface of FRITZ!Repeater
You forgot the password for the FRITZ!Repeater? ✔ Here you can find out how to log into the user interface again.
You can protect the user interface of your FRITZ!Repeater against unauthorized access with your own password.
If you changed the default password on the underside of the repeater but then forgot the new password, reset the password or load the FRITZ!Repeater's factory settings. Then you can log in again and set a new password. For security reasons, you can only reset the password when you access the user interface from the home network.
1 Resetting the password
If you are offered the option of sending a push service mail, have an email with a link to access the user interface sent to you that you can use to reset the password:
- Open the user interface of the FRITZ!Repeater.
- Click on the 'Forgot your password?' link.
- Click on the 'Send push service mail' button. If the button is not displayed, the 'forgot password' push service is not configured.
- Call up the email with the same device you used to request the push service mail and follow the instructions in the email. If you did not receive an email, either the email account information entered for the push service is not correct, or the repeater is not connected to the internet.
Important:The email may have been classified as unsolicited advertising (spam). In this case, also check the spam folder of your email inbox.
