A router is a device that we use to give connectivity to our other devices, usually via ethernet or wifi. This means that it is the device responsible for allowing Internet access to our home devices. It is also known as a router . Livebox 2 is a router manufactured by Sagem to be used by users of the Orange company. In this .com article we will see how to change the password of our Livebox router .

Users usually do not take the trouble to change the password that our router brings by default, which increases the risk of someone to penetrate our network with a number of infinite consequences. That is why it is very important that as soon as we modify the default password of the router.

For this, the first thing is to know our IP . We can do this in two ways. The first is to consult some of the many web pages that provide it to us automatically, this is the case of vermiip.es.

The other way to know our IP is in the writing box of the Start menu. There we will write cmd . An MS DOS window will appear in which we will have to write: ipconfig . Then the screen will show us a series of data: we will have to write down the numbers that we put in the gateway . We close the MS DOS window because it is no longer necessary.

We put the numbers of our IP in our navigation bar and press enter . Then a window will open where we will be asked to authenticate as users and enter the password. In the case of the Orange Livebox 2 manufactured by Sagem, the default user is admin and the password is also admin .

If we have entered the user and password correctly, we will access the router. In the window where we are, in the upper part there are 2 tabs where it says Start and Settings . We click on Settings and then a drop-down will be displayed on the left with the following elements: Equipment, Livebox, Services. We will deploy the Livebox options . From the multiple options that are deployed we choose Administration .

Now in the middle part of the window we have 3 sections: General, Change password and Language. We choose Change password. They ask us for the old password that as we said it was admin and then we put the password that we want. Once placed, we keep it and it will be more difficult to penetrate our network.
