WRK54G - Router Console - Administration Password Change

The password change is not applied on the router until you save or confirm the change. In this example, click the Save Settings button at the bottom of the page (as shown below) to have the new password take effect. You will see a confirmation window appear briefly to confirm the password change was made successfully. The new password takes effect immediately; rebooting the router is not required.
