Understanding the Importance of Password Management

The first layer of protection in any network is password. Older or shared passwords run the danger of illegal access, bandwidth misuse, or even possible cyberattacks. Regularly changing router credentials improves general network dependability and allows Virgin Media consumers to better manage connected devices.

There are two types of passwords of Virgin Hub: 

1. Wi-Fi Password – This password is used to connect devices to your wireless network

2. Admin Password – The password allows access over Virgin router login interface and after that you can access the settings of the hub using this password.

Both can be altered easily, knowing how to do it well guarantees that you will always be in charge of your home network.

Accessing Virgin Hub Settings

You have to first visit the configuration interface of your router before changing any password. One does this by visiting a browser using the Virgin router login interface.

2. Open a browser and put in the address bar "192.168.0.1" or 192.168.101.

3. Enter your admin password on the login page. Unless you have altered it already, this is printed on a label on the bottom or rear of your hub.

The little reset button on the device will allow you to return the hub to factory settings if you have lost your admin password. Holding it down for ten seconds with a pin or paperclip can cause the hub to reboot.
