Forgot password for the FRITZ!Box user interface
You forgot the FRITZ!Box password? ✔ Here you can find out how to log into the user interface again.
You can protect the user interface of your FRITZ!Box against unauthorized access with a password. If you forgot the password, reset the password or load the FRITZ!Box's factory settings. Then you can log in again and set a new password. For security reasons, you can only reset the password when you access the user interface from the home network.
1 Resetting the password
If you are offered the option of sending a push service mail, have an email sent to you that contains an access link that you can use to reset the password:
- Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click the "Forgot your password?" link.
- Click the "Send push service mail" button. If the button is not displayed, then the necessary service is not configured.
- Call up the email with the same device you used to request the push service mail and click the link in the email to assign a new password. If you did not receive an email, either the email account information was entered incorrectly, or the FRITZ!Box is not connected to the internet.
Important:The email may have been classified as unsolicited advertising (spam). In this case, also check the spam folder of your email inbox.
- If you use a username and FRITZ!Box password to access the user interface, click the (edit) button for the respective user and enter a new password.
- If you only use the FRITZ!Box password to access the user interface, a FRITZ!Box user was created automatically. Click the (Edit) button for this user and enter a new password.
- Click "Apply" to save the settings.
2 Loading the factory settings and reconfiguring the FRITZ!Box
If you are not offered the option of sending a push service mail or you did not receive the email, you cannot open the user interface again until you load the factory settings:
Loading the factory settings
- Unplug the FRITZ!Box.
- Plug the FRITZ!Box back in after 1 minute.
- Open the FRITZ!Box user interface within the next 10 minutes.
- Click the "Forgot your password?" link.
- Click the "Restore Factory Settings" button.
- After you load the factory settings, open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
Configuring the FRITZ!Box
- Reconfigure the FRITZ!Box. If you previously saved the FRITZ!Box settings, restore the settings.
- When doing so, select the option "Select manually the settings to be restored" and make sure that you do not select "FRITZ!Box user" because this will restore the FRITZ!Box password.
- Set up the MyFRITZ! report so you can simply have the password sent to you via email in the future.
