Some help please

Hey all

I read some forum about people stealing accounts and someone mentioned something about changing the password for your router.

Couldnt someone maybe post how to set up your router and what ever else you need to change to prevent this happening? Not everyone (me) knows how to do all these things to stop someone using my account.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Instructions are highly dependent on the specific router that you have.

Most routers' software is so bad that the password is visible in the page source HTML of the WAN/PPP setup page, though asterisked or hidden on the normal display. Some do not show it.
