Write it on the back of the router, so this will defeat "Default Password Login Attack". For tech people, change the password weekly, to be secure. Password management is not for computer accounts only, but also for networking/security devices. I've accessed many wireless routers using "admin/admin" or "admin/password" combination. ISP's should follow this, because they usually install "DSL modems + wifi" using the default vendor password. http://extremesecurity.blogspot.com My advise for wireless routers vendors is, make every router’s password random and unique.
