Question
How do I change the admin password in my G34/G36 gateway?
Answer
The admin password for the G34/G36 is created when accessing the Web Manager or configuring the SURFboard® Central App for the first time.  This document describes how to change the admin password in the G34/G36 Web Manager. 

CAUTION: When setting up the SURFboard® Central app with the G34/G36, it is required to register an ARRIS account with an email address.  The email address and password to sign into the G34/G36 Web Manager are located in the app.  It is not recommended to change the admin password in the Web Manager when the app is set up.

NOTE: If the Web Manager login is unsuccessful, a factory reset on the G34/G36 is required to reset the admin password.  Performing a Factory Reset will erase any configuration changes that have been made and will require the gateway to be reconfigured.  For assistance with Factory Reset, refer to article # 19121 - G34/G36: Factory Reset.
