PLDT Change Initial Password Prompt

You MAY or MAY NOT see this kind of screen but if you do simply enter the old password “1234” and enter your new own password.

If you see this configuration prompt


New Passwords MUST include characters, numbers, and symbols. (Eg. !*TestPassword01) will work but (Eg. TestPassword) will not be accepted as it doesn’t have symbol/s and/or numbers in it.

The same goes with the 2.4G SSID1 and 5GSSID1 Passwords they must also meet the same requirement.

For the SSID Name, it represents the “Wifi Name” on your router so what you input to the SSID Name will be basically your Wifi Name.
