DSL user name & password

When I connected my replacement DSL modem/router from Verizon, it connected automatically. I did not have to enter the Verizon DSL user name and password that were used for my old modem and router. When I checked the new modem settings, the user name listed is "dslnew" and the password is not visible (only ********).

Do I need to change this to my old login, or just leave as is?

On most VZ modems the default login is admin and password. Then you S/B prompted to set a new password. Have you tried pressing and holding the reset button (15 seconds) while the modem is on. This will zap any custom settings and set it to factory specs.

Does the modem have a sticker with the default login information on it? (My FIOS router did).

Could you please list the make and model of your modem if this does not help.

I am able the make changes, my questions is if it is necessary the change it from the default to my VOL user ID & password. It connects with the default "newdsl" ID, but I don't know if I'm supposed to leave that or use my own.

Yes, change it to your own.

Would not changing it to my login result in any connection issues?
