How to change your TPG modem password

Your modem password is used to log in to the modem's default gateway to change your modem settings.

You'll need a strong custom password if you're going to use Remote Access on your modem. It's also useful to stop guests from being able to access your modem settings if you give them your WiFi password.

Important: If you forget a custom modem password, you'll need to factory reset your modem.
