Determining the password for the FRITZ!Box user interface

You're looking for the password your FRITZ!Box had when you bought it? ✓ Here's how to find the default password to access the user interface.

Default password for the FRITZ!Box user interface

The user interface of your FRITZ!Box is protected with a unique password in the factory settings. The FRITZ!Box password is located on the underside of the FRITZ!Box.

With the FRITZ!Box password, you can access the user interface on all of the devices connected to the FRITZ!Box. To connect a device via Wi-Fi, you need the network key that is also on the underside of the device. Then you can configure settings in the user interface and change the Wi-Fi network key or default password.

If you changed the FRITZ!Box password and then forgot it, there is no way to find out what it is. It is therefore best to configure the "forgot password" push service right away, so you can simply have the password sent to you by email. If you forget the password and have not configured the push service, you cannot open the user interface again until you have restored the factory settings.
