Answer | The default admin login credential to log into the Web Manager for the first time is admin (username) and password (password). It is required to change the default admin password after login. The customized admin password can be changed in the Web Manager.  This document describes how to change the customized admin password. CAUTION: When setting up the SURFboard® Central app with the SBG7580-AC, it is required to register an ARRIS account with an email address. The admin (username) and auto generated password to sign into the SBG7580-AC 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 SBG7580-AC 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 # 16948 SBG7580-AC: Factory Reset.​Change the Default Password
