Why should I change default passwords on routers, cameras and firewalls?

By Michael Obraitis, Managing Partner, and Michael Dale, CEO·Published August 12, 2026·Last reviewed August 2026·ADAM Pulse Knowledge Base

The short answer: Default usernames and passwords should be changed because they may be predictable, publicly documented, shared across many devices, or otherwise easier for attackers to discover. If a router, firewall, camera, server, printer, application, or other device still uses default credentials, an attacker may not need to “hack” the password at all. They may simply need to know what the manufacturer originally set.

That is an important distinction.

Many people imagine password attacks like this:

Attacker

↓

Complex cracking software

↓

Thousands of guesses

↓

Password eventually discovered

Sometimes that happens.

But occasionally the process can be much simpler:

Find device

↓

Identify manufacturer or product

↓

Try the default username and password

↓

Access granted

No sophisticated password cracking required.

That is why one of the simplest cybersecurity actions a business can take is also one of the most important:

Change default credentials before a device becomes part of your production environment.

NIST currently includes changing default manufacturer passwords among its fundamental cybersecurity recommendations for small businesses.

What Is a Default Password?

A default password is a password initially assigned to a device, application, or service by the manufacturer or provider.

A new device might arrive with credentials such as:

admin

administrator

root

or another predefined username.

Historically, some products also used predictable passwords or identical credentials across many devices.

Default credentials make initial setup convenient.

The problem begins when the default credentials remain in place after installation.

Something intended to help an administrator configure the device can become an unnecessary security weakness.

Why Are Default Passwords Dangerous?

Default credentials can be dangerous for a simple reason:

They may not be secret.

Manufacturers need customers, installers, technicians, and support personnel to know how to access a new device.

That means setup credentials may appear in:

If your IT technician can search for the factory credentials, an attacker may be able to search for them too.

Security should therefore never depend on:

“Hopefully nobody knows the default password.”

Can Hackers Find Default Passwords Online?

Yes.

Default login information for many technologies has historically been publicly documented.

That does not mean every modern device uses universal default credentials. Security practices have improved, and some manufacturers now require unique credentials or force password creation during setup.

But organizations should never assume that a factory supplied credential is suitable for long term use.

NIST recommends changing manufacturer default passwords to credentials unique to your organization.

The Federal Trade Commission similarly advises businesses to change preset router passwords and recommends that connected devices not continue using default usernames and passwords.

Why Would a Manufacturer Use a Default Password?

Convenience.

Imagine deploying a new:

The installer needs a way to access the equipment for initial configuration.

Historically, manufacturers frequently solved this by creating standardized administrative credentials.

That makes installation easy.

But installation convenience and long term security are two different objectives.

The secure workflow should be:

Install

↓

Authenticate

↓

Change default credentials

↓

Configure securely

↓

Document ownership

↓

Enable additional protections

↓

Monitor

Not:

Install

↓

Forget

What Types of Devices May Have Default Credentials?

Businesses should think beyond computers.

Credentials can exist on almost anything with an administrative interface.

Examples include:

This is why credential security should be part of asset management.

Every managed device should have an owner.

Every administrative account should have a purpose.

Why Are Routers a Particularly Important Example?

Your router may sit directly between your business network and other networks.

Depending on the design, it may help control:

Administrative access to a router can therefore be highly sensitive.

An attacker who gains control of network infrastructure may potentially alter:

The FTC specifically advises businesses to change preset router passwords, change default router names where appropriate, and keep router software current.

A router should not be treated like an appliance that is installed once and forgotten.

It is network infrastructure.

Why Are Security Cameras Important?

Security cameras create an interesting cybersecurity paradox.

Businesses install cameras to improve security.

But the cameras themselves are network connected computers.

They may contain:

If those systems are poorly secured, the security device itself can create risk.

The Federal Trade Commission has previously taken action involving connected cameras and routers where alleged weaknesses included hard coded or insecure credentials.

The FTC also currently advises users of connected cameras to avoid default usernames and passwords, keep software updated, use strong unique credentials, and enable two factor authentication where available.

Could Someone Watch a Camera if They Know the Password?

Potentially, depending on the device, its configuration, exposure, permissions, and associated services.

That is one reason camera administration deserves serious attention.

Businesses should know:

Who can access the cameras?

Which accounts exist?

Are default credentials gone?

Are shared accounts being used?

Is remote viewing enabled?

Is MFA available?

Is the camera firmware current?

Is the camera system accessible directly from the internet?

Is the camera network appropriately segmented?

Physical security and cybersecurity increasingly overlap.

What Is a Brute Force Password Attack?

A brute force attack repeatedly attempts passwords until a valid credential is discovered.

Imagine a burglar standing outside a keypad and entering:

0000

1111

1234

9999

again and again.

A human would perform this process slowly.

Software can automate it.

Automated systems can test large numbers of credential combinations far more efficiently than a person entering them manually.

This is one of the reasons weak passwords create risk.

Do Hackers Really Try Passwords Like “123456” and “Password”?

Yes.

Attackers do not need to begin with random combinations.

They can start with passwords people commonly choose.

Human beings tend to be predictable.

People choose passwords based on:

Attackers can therefore prioritize likely passwords before attempting more computationally expensive guessing.

Good password security should assume that predictable passwords will eventually be tested.

What Is a Dictionary Attack?

A dictionary attack uses lists of likely passwords rather than testing every possible combination.

The list may include:

For example, a person might think adding a number to a common word creates strong security.

Attackers know people do that.

Automated tools can test common variations.

This is one reason modern password guidance emphasizes length, uniqueness, password managers, and MFA rather than relying exclusively on complicated substitution patterns.

How Long Should a Password Be?

Current NIST guidance places significant emphasis on password length.

For passwords used as a single authentication factor, NIST's current digital identity guidance requires supporting passwords of at least 15 characters.

For everyday users and businesses, the more important practical lesson is:

Longer is generally better than short and complicated.

A long passphrase can be easier to remember and substantially harder to guess than a short password composed of predictable substitutions.

For example, businesses should move away from thinking:

“How many symbols can we force people to remember?”

and toward:

“Can we use long, unique credentials and a password manager?”

Should I Change My Password Every 30 or 60 Days?

Automatically forcing frequent password changes is no longer considered a universal best practice simply for the sake of changing them.

Why?

People who are repeatedly forced to create new passwords may develop predictable patterns.

For example:

CompanySummer1

becomes

CompanySummer2

and then

CompanySummer3

That does not create meaningful security.

Modern password strategy places greater emphasis on:

The objective is not password churn.

It is stronger authentication.

What Is Password Reuse?

Password reuse means using the same password for multiple accounts.

For example:

Email

Accounting system

CRM

Vendor portal

Cloud storage

Router administration

all use the same password.

That may feel convenient.

It also creates a dangerous dependency.

If one service is compromised, the same credential may potentially work somewhere else.

The compromise can spread from one account to another.

What Is Credential Stuffing?

Credential stuffing occurs when attackers take usernames and passwords obtained from one source and automatically try them against other services.

This attack works because people reuse passwords.

Imagine an employee used the same credentials for:

Personal website

and

Company cloud account.

The unrelated website experiences a breach.

Attackers obtain the email address and password.

They then try those credentials against other services.

The company itself may never have experienced a breach.

But one reused password can still create exposure.

That leads to an extremely important rule:

> Every important account should use a unique credential.

Why Is Password Reuse So Dangerous for Administrator Accounts?

Administrative accounts have elevated permissions.

They may be able to:

That means an administrative password should never casually be reused elsewhere.

Compromise of a privileged credential can have dramatically greater impact than compromise of a low privilege account.

Administrative credentials deserve additional protection.

Should Every Administrator Use the Same Admin Account?

Ideally, organizations should avoid unnecessary shared administrative accounts.

Instead of:

Admin

used by five technicians, consider individual administrative identities where the technology supports them.

Why?

Accountability.

If a configuration changes at 2:15 AM and the logs say:

Admin changed firewall rule

you still need to determine:

Which admin?

Individual accounts can provide better accountability.

They also allow access to be removed from one individual without changing credentials for everyone else.

What Happens When an Employee Leaves?

Access should be removed.

This sounds obvious.

But organizations frequently accumulate old accounts.

A technician leaves.

A vendor relationship ends.

An employee changes departments.

A contractor finishes a project.

Yet the account remains.

That creates unnecessary exposure.

NIST recommends removing access when employees leave or when access is no longer required.

Credential management is therefore not simply about creating accounts.

It includes the entire lifecycle:

Create

Authorize

Use

Review

Modify

Disable

Remove

What Is the Principle of Least Privilege?

Least privilege means giving people only the access necessary to perform their responsibilities.

A marketing employee may not need firewall administration.

A camera installer may not need access to accounting servers.

A support vendor may not need permanent access to every location.

A restaurant manager may not need global Microsoft 365 administration.

Access should match business need.

This limits the damage that can occur if one account is compromised.

What Is Multifactor Authentication?

Multifactor authentication, commonly called MFA, requires more than one method of verifying identity.

Instead of relying solely on:

Something you know

such as a password,

authentication may also require:

Something you have

such as a security key or authenticator,

or:

Something you are

such as a biometric characteristic.

NIST currently states that passwords alone are not sufficiently effective for protecting an organization's most sensitive assets and recommends MFA as an additional security layer.

Why Does MFA Matter if I Already Have a Strong Password?

Because passwords can still be:

MFA adds another barrier.

Imagine an attacker successfully obtains your password.

Without MFA:

Password stolen

↓

Attacker logs in

With MFA:

Password stolen

↓

Additional authentication required

↓

Attack becomes more difficult

MFA does not make compromise impossible.

But it can substantially reduce the usefulness of a stolen password.

What Is Phishing Resistant MFA?

Not every form of MFA provides the same protection.

Some authentication methods are more resistant to phishing than others.

Phishing resistant authentication attempts to prevent an attacker from tricking a user into providing an authentication factor that can simply be replayed.

Examples can include appropriately implemented security keys and passkeys.

NIST currently encourages businesses to consider phishing resistant MFA, particularly for sensitive applications and accounts.

This represents an important evolution.

The question is no longer simply:

“Do we have MFA?”

It increasingly becomes:

“What kind of MFA are we using for our most important accounts?”

What Is a Passkey?

A passkey is an authentication technology designed to reduce dependence on traditional passwords.

Instead of remembering and transmitting a reusable password, passkeys use cryptographic authentication associated with a device or credential provider.

For many businesses, passkeys may become an increasingly important part of future identity security.

But passwords are not disappearing overnight.

Most organizations will continue managing passwords for years.

That makes good credential hygiene essential.

Should Businesses Use Password Managers?

Yes, they can be extremely useful.

A password manager helps users create and store unique passwords.

Without one, employees may be tempted to:

Password managers make unique credentials practical.

NIST currently recommends using password managers as one of its key password security practices.

The password manager itself should also receive strong protection, including appropriate MFA when available.

Should Passwords Ever Be Stored in a Spreadsheet?

Sensitive administrative passwords should not casually be maintained in ordinary spreadsheets, shared documents, emails, or chat histories.

Imagine a file called:

COMPANY PASSWORDS.xlsx

containing:

The file becomes a concentrated target.

If someone obtains it, they may obtain access to multiple systems simultaneously.

Credential storage should use systems designed specifically to secure credentials.

Should Technicians Send Passwords Through Email?

Email should not be treated as a secure password vault.

The same principle applies to:

Organizations should establish approved methods for transferring and storing sensitive administrative credentials.

This is particularly important for IT teams and managed service providers.

A strong password offers limited protection if it is casually distributed.

What Is a Service Account?

A service account is an account used by an application, device, service, integration, or automated process rather than by a person.

Businesses often forget about these accounts because nobody logs into them manually every day.

But service accounts can have significant privileges.

Organizations should know:

A forgotten service account can become another form of forgotten infrastructure.

Why Are IoT Passwords Such a Concern?

Internet of Things devices can be numerous.

One business location may have:

Each device potentially adds:

Another account

Another password

Another firmware version

Another network connection

Another management interface

That creates operational complexity.

And complexity creates opportunities for things to be forgotten.

Businesses need an inventory.

Can a Printer Have a Password?

Yes.

Modern printers are network computers.

They may provide:

A printer administrator account therefore deserves the same fundamental security thinking as other network devices.

The lesson is:

Do not judge cybersecurity importance by what the device looks like.

A printer can be a computer.

A camera can be a computer.

A conference room display can be a computer.

A thermostat can be a computer.

What Is a Hard Coded Password?

A hard coded credential is embedded into software or firmware rather than being safely generated or managed as a configurable user credential.

Hard coded credentials can be especially problematic if they are shared across many devices or cannot be changed easily.

The FTC has historically raised security concerns involving connected devices and hard coded credentials.

Businesses generally have less direct control over these problems.

The response may require:

This is one reason businesses should purchase equipment from vendors that take security and product lifecycle support seriously.

Should Default Usernames Be Changed Too?

Where practical and supported, changing or disabling predictable default administrative usernames can add another layer.

But changing the username should not substitute for:

Changing:

admin

to:

companyadministrator

while keeping:

password123

does not create meaningful security.

The entire authentication model matters.

What Is Account Lockout?

Account lockout limits authentication attempts after repeated failures.

For example, after several unsuccessful login attempts, the system may:

The objective is to make automated password guessing more difficult.

The FTC has recommended limiting unsuccessful login attempts as one way to reduce password guessing attacks.

However, lockout policies need thoughtful configuration.

An overly aggressive policy could allow attackers to intentionally lock legitimate users out of their accounts.

Should Administrative Interfaces Be Accessible From the Internet?

Generally, administrative interfaces should not be exposed more broadly than necessary.

Examples include administration for:

An administrator needing remote access does not automatically mean:

“Make the login page available to the entire internet.”

Organizations should use controlled administrative access methods appropriate to their environment.

This might include:

The goal is to reduce who can even attempt authentication.

A Strong Password Is Better. A Login Page Nobody Needs to Reach Is Better Still.

This is an important security concept.

Suppose a firewall administrator password is exceptionally strong.

That is good.

But if firewall administration only occurs internally, why expose the administrative portal publicly at all?

Security can be strengthened by combining:

Strong authentication

with

Reduced exposure.

Do not rely on the password to protect something that never needed to be publicly reachable.

How Do Attackers Know What Username to Try?

Attackers may try common administrative usernames such as:

admin

administrator

root

They may also obtain employee names and email addresses from:

This makes predictable usernames relatively easy to determine in many organizations.

The password and additional authentication controls therefore become critically important.

Can Someone Attack an Account Without Knowing My Company?

Yes.

This connects back to the first articles in this series.

An attacker may discover:

A router

A VPN gateway

A remote access portal

A camera

A cloud login

without specifically researching the company operating it.

They can then attempt:

Default credentials

Common usernames

Known compromised passwords

Automated authentication attempts

The account itself may become the target.

Password Security Is Really Identity Security

Passwords are not valuable because the characters themselves matter.

Passwords are valuable because they prove, or attempt to prove:

Who should be allowed access.

That means password security should be viewed within a broader identity framework.

Businesses should ask:

Who has access?

Why do they have it?

What can they reach?

How are they authenticated?

Is MFA enabled?

When was access last reviewed?

What happens when they leave?

Can we see when the account is used?

That is identity and access management.

What Accounts Should Get MFA First?

Ideally, MFA should be enabled everywhere it is available and appropriate.

If an organization needs to prioritize, begin with high impact accounts such as:

Administrative accounts deserve particularly strong protection because compromise can have broad consequences.

What Is an MFA Fatigue Attack?

Some authentication systems send approval requests to a user's device.

Attackers who have obtained the password may repeatedly trigger those prompts hoping the user eventually presses:

Approve

simply to make them stop.

That is one reason employees should be trained:

Never approve an authentication request you did not initiate.

An unexpected MFA prompt can itself be a warning sign.

It may mean someone already knows the password.

That should be reported.

What Should I Do if I Receive an MFA Prompt I Did Not Request?

Do not approve it.

Then follow your organization's security reporting process.

Depending on the situation, appropriate actions may include:

An unsolicited MFA request should not simply be dismissed as an annoying notification.

It can be security information.

Why Monitoring Authentication Matters

Strong credentials help prevent compromise.

Monitoring helps identify suspicious use.

An organization should ideally be able to recognize patterns such as:

Repeated login failures

Unexpected successful logins

Unusual login locations

New administrative accounts

MFA changes

Password resets

Disabled accounts becoming active

Unexpected remote access

This connects identity security to network monitoring.

Authentication events provide another source of visibility.

Passwords, Firewalls, and Monitoring Work Together

Consider a remote access system.

The firewall controls:

Who can reach the service.

The password helps prove:

Who the user claims to be.

MFA adds:

Another proof of identity.

Logging records:

What happened.

Monitoring helps identify:

What looks unusual.

A technician or security professional investigates:

Whether it matters.

Each control answers a different question.

That is layered cybersecurity.

Default Passwords Are Really an Asset Management Problem

At first, default passwords sound like a password problem.

But look deeper.

Why does a default password remain unchanged?

Possibly because nobody knows the device exists.

Or:

Nobody knows who owns it.

Nobody knows who installed it.

Nobody documented the credentials.

Nobody is responsible for maintenance.

Nobody reviews its configuration.

That means credential security begins with inventory.

What do we have?

Who owns it?

Who administers it?

When was it installed?

Are default credentials gone?

Is it current?

Is it monitored?

A forgotten password often accompanies a forgotten device.

What Should Happen When New Equipment Is Installed?

Businesses should establish a standard deployment process.

Before a device enters production:

Identify It

Document the manufacturer, model, serial number, purpose, and location.

Assign Ownership

Determine who is responsible for managing it.

Change Default Credentials

Replace factory credentials with secure unique credentials.

Enable MFA

Where supported and appropriate.

Update It

Install current firmware and security patches.

Disable Unnecessary Services

Reduce attack surface.

Restrict Administrative Access

Do not expose management unnecessarily.

Segment It

Place it on an appropriate network.

Document It

Record configuration and ownership information appropriately.

Monitor It

Know if it becomes unreachable or behaves unexpectedly.

That turns equipment installation into a security process rather than simply a technical task.

What Should Happen When Equipment Is Removed?

Decommissioning deserves equal attention.

When removing technology:

Otherwise, businesses accumulate digital leftovers.

And attackers are happy to find what organizations forget.

How USA Telecom and ADAM Fit Into the Picture

Password security is fundamentally an identity issue.

ADAM is not intended to replace identity platforms, password managers, MFA systems, endpoint security, or other dedicated cybersecurity controls.

But the broader USA Telecom and ADAM philosophy remains highly relevant:

You need to know what is in your environment before you can protect it effectively.

Consider a multi location organization.

It may have:

How confident is the organization that:

Every device is documented?

Every default password was changed?

Every former vendor account is removed?

Every device is still supported?

Every location follows the same standard?

That is where operational visibility and standardized processes become incredibly important.

The Security Control You Forgot About Can Become the Security Problem

Businesses often spend money implementing new security products.

Sometimes the bigger problem is something much simpler:

A forgotten router.

An old camera.

An unused VPN account.

A default password.

A former employee.

A vendor account nobody removed.

A firewall rule nobody remembers.

An administrator credential shared by five people.

Cybersecurity maturity is not just about sophisticated technology.

It is also about disciplined housekeeping.

20 Credential Questions Every Business Should Ask

Business owners do not need to memorize cybersecurity standards.

But they should be able to ask good questions.

1. Have we changed the default passwords on all routers?

2. Have we changed default passwords on firewalls?

3. Have default credentials been removed from cameras?

4. Are printers and other network appliances secured?

5. Are passwords unique between systems?

6. Do we use a business password manager?

7. Is MFA enabled on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace?

8. Is MFA enabled for remote access?

9. Is MFA enabled for firewall administrators?

10. Who has administrative privileges?

11. Are administrator accounts shared?

12. Which vendors have accounts?

13. Do former vendors still have access?

14. Are former employee accounts disabled?

15. Are service accounts documented?

16. Are administrative interfaces unnecessarily exposed?

17. Can we see repeated authentication failures?

18. Can we identify unexpected successful logins?

19. Do employees know what to do with an unexpected MFA request?

20. Do we have a documented process for creating and removing accounts?

If the answer to several of these questions is:

“We don't know,”

that uncertainty is worth investigating.

The Better Question Is Not “Is Our Password Strong?”

A strong password matters.

But cybersecurity requires broader questions.

Ask:

Is it unique?

Where is it stored?

Who knows it?

Is the account still necessary?

Is MFA enabled?

Is the login page exposed publicly?

Can failed attempts be detected?

Would we know if the account were used unexpectedly?

Can we revoke access quickly?

Is anyone periodically reviewing the account?

That moves the conversation from password complexity to identity security.

Key Takeaway

Some cyberattacks are sophisticated.

Some exploit previously unknown vulnerabilities.

Some involve advanced malware.

And some begin because somebody never changed:

admin

and

admin.

That is an important cybersecurity lesson.

Not every security improvement requires an enormous technology investment.

Sometimes cybersecurity begins with basic discipline:

Change default passwords.

Use unique credentials.

Use long passwords.

Use a password manager.

Enable MFA.

Protect administrator accounts.

Remove unnecessary access.

Secure remote administration.

Monitor authentication.

Document devices and ownership.

The goal is not simply to make passwords harder to remember.

The goal is to make unauthorized access harder to achieve.

And perhaps the most important principle is this:

> A password should never be the only thing standing between an attacker and something critical.

Frequently asked questions

Why should I change a default password?

Default passwords may be predictable, publicly documented, shared across devices, or otherwise easier for attackers to discover. NIST recommends replacing manufacturer default passwords with credentials unique to your organization.

Can hackers find default router passwords?

Default credentials for many devices have historically been publicly documented. Businesses should never rely on a factory password remaining secret.

What is a default credential?

A default credential is a username, password, PIN, key, or other authentication information initially supplied by a manufacturer or service provider.

Should I change the default username too?

Where supported and appropriate, changing or disabling predictable default administrative usernames can add protection, but it should not replace strong passwords, MFA, restricted access, and monitoring.

Can security cameras be hacked through default passwords?

Weak or default credentials can increase the risk of unauthorized access to internet connected cameras. Camera systems should use unique credentials, current firmware, controlled remote access, and MFA where available.

Should router passwords be changed?

Yes. The FTC specifically recommends changing preset router passwords and keeping router software current.

What is a brute force attack?

A brute force attack repeatedly attempts passwords or credential combinations in an effort to gain access.

What is a dictionary password attack?

A dictionary attack attempts likely passwords using lists of common words, patterns, and known credentials rather than testing every possible combination.

What is credential stuffing?

Credential stuffing uses credentials obtained from one source and automatically tests them against other services. It is effective when people reuse passwords.

Is password reuse dangerous?

Yes. Reusing passwords means compromise of one account can potentially expose additional accounts.

How long should my password be?

Current NIST guidance emphasizes long passwords. For single factor password authentication, current NIST digital identity guidance requires a minimum of 15 characters.

Do I need special characters in every password?

Modern NIST guidance emphasizes password length, blocked compromised passwords, password managers, and MFA rather than relying on traditional composition rules alone.

Should businesses use password managers?

Password managers can help employees create and maintain unique passwords rather than reusing credentials across systems. NIST recommends considering password managers as part of good password security.

What is MFA?

Multifactor authentication requires more than one factor to verify a user's identity, reducing reliance on a password alone.

Do I need MFA if my password is strong?

Yes, particularly for important accounts. MFA adds another barrier if the password is stolen, phished, exposed, or otherwise compromised.

What is phishing resistant MFA?

Phishing resistant MFA uses authentication approaches designed to make it significantly more difficult for an attacker to trick a user into giving away reusable authentication information.

Should firewall administrator accounts use MFA?

Where supported, administrative accounts should receive strong authentication protection. CISA and NIST both emphasize MFA for sensitive and privileged access.

Should employees share administrative passwords?

Shared administrative credentials should generally be avoided where individual accounts are supported. Individual accounts improve accountability and simplify removal of access.

What happens to an account when an employee leaves?

Access should be disabled or removed promptly according to the organization's offboarding process.

Should vendors have permanent administrator accounts?

Vendor access should be limited according to business need, appropriately protected, reviewed periodically, and removed when no longer required.

Should passwords be stored in spreadsheets?

Sensitive passwords should be managed using systems designed for secure credential storage rather than casually kept in shared spreadsheets, documents, email, or chat.

Can an unexpected MFA prompt mean someone has my password?

Potentially. If you receive an MFA prompt you did not initiate, do not approve it and follow your organization's security reporting process.

Can a strong password stop hackers?

A strong unique password reduces risk, but passwords should not be the only security control. MFA, access restrictions, patching, monitoring, and other layers remain important.
