You cannot change the default username of "admin". After logging into the GUI, follow the steps below to change the default password.  You can only change the password. Be sure to write the new password down and keep it somewhere safe, as it will be needed to access the Extender's GUI in the future. 1. Click on "Forgot Password" at the top.![Password rest button](https://residential.screenbeam.com/hs-fs/hubfs/WEB6000Q%20Support/Screenshot%202025-06-27%20100039.png?width=688&height=178&name=Screenshot%202025-06-27%20100039.png) 2.
